i have come a cross weird problem in windows phone 8 as when i set the source of an image in Xaml it shows correctly in the designer view but when i run the application no image appears i have made a new empty application.
<Grid x:Name="ContentPanel" Grid.Row="1" Margin="12,0,12,0">
<Image Visibility="Visible" Source="Assets\Tiles\FlipCycleTileMedium.png" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="321" Margin="61,192,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="359"/>
</Grid>
This is the XAML Code I have used now: Just replace your MainPage.xaml with this code and run you app. You will see the image in the app definitely. Here's the screenshot.
