 dim xpic as image

dim image as new bitmapimage
dim imagepath as string = "c:\users\public\pictures\sample pictures\desert.jpg"
image.begininit()
image.urisource = new uri(imagepath, urikind.absolute)
image.end()

xpic.source = image

my problame is this:

xpic.source = image

gives an error that says "variable 'xpic' is used before it has been assigned a value."

what am i donig wrong?

You have this code...

Dim xpic As Image

Which is creating the variable. However, you never actually assign it a value. Try changing it to this...

Dim xpic As Image = New Image()
