Display an image from a network shared folder

Display an image from a network shared folder

Hello

I have a shared network folder located at 

"\\matrix\images\" 

that holds various images. Now I want to retreive these images into my silverlight application. 

But also:

<Image x:Name="imgUser" Source="file://matrix/images/background.jpg" Width="50" Height="50"></Image>

When I view the designer the image is shown within the designer (from the network shared folder, in a silverlight businuess project template). But when trying to display it when the silverlight application is running through Internet Explorer, it shows nothing... If I try some things, changing the "Source"-URI somehow (into @"\\matrix\images\background.jpg") it gives me access is denied to the folder...

The folder is fully shared, I've added all user groups, IUSR, etc. to the folder, so everyone do have access.

How can I get an image from a network shared folder displayed in the Image-control???

I have done this in normal asp.net with C# as code behind, by simply adding a <asp:Image runat="server" ...> tag to an aspx file, and then in the code behind:

string url = @"file://matrix/images/background.jpg";
imgPersonalia.Src = url;

And the above is working (only in Internet Explorer though). But doing the same thing with a silverlight control fails.

Been struggling the whole day, pissing me off, quite frankly. :)

Suggestions?

Try share the image folder by configuring with IIS, access with http:// not file://( they are in different domains i think)
