I have created a sample based on the scenario. This sample demonstrate the WebCoverFlowItem creation using object and setting the ImageSource property to a BitmapImage object.

The sample works without any issue in our environment.

I'm tried adding one image to the coverflow and it does not show up. The browser also throws an error when I click the Last button in the control (sort of like a Javascript error with the error icon appearing in the bottom left corner of the browser). I've attached a file with screenshots of the error (couldn't copy and paste the text).

I'm not using a Uri to set the image source. The BitmapImage is pulled in from a database and loaded into an Employee object. The BitmapImage is exposed via the Photo property. I'm positive the image loaded correctly because I can set the source of an Image control to the Photo property and it displays correctly.

Here's the source code:

WebCoverFlowItem c = new WebCoverFlowItem();
c.ImageSource = employee.Photo;
c.ItemName = "Item1";
c.Title = "Title1";
coverFlow.Items.Add(c);

Care to elaborate why it does not work in your scenario? does the application returns error or the image does not show but there is no error?

Could you also give us some more information regarding the event you wish to bind the image?

WebCoverFlowItem ImageSource property will accept BitmapImage object. Here is a snippet of WebCoverFlow creation using WebCoverFlowItem and ImageSource

String[] imgList = new String[]{"binfolder.jpg", "cal_ie.jpg", "designer_screenshot.jpg",     "FF3_1_SchedulerMarch2009.png", "FFRoundedCombo.jpg", "firebug.jpg", "LIC-1.jpg", 
    "SchedulerWeekView.png", "WebTreeViewAbout.jpg"};
foreach (String imgFile in imgList)
{
    WebCoverFlowItem test1 = new WebCoverFlowItem();
    test1.ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri("images/" + imgFile, UriKind.Relative));
    test1.ItemName = "Item" + index.ToString();
    test1.Title = "Image #" + index.ToString() + " Title";
    CoverFlow1.Items.Add(test1);
    index++;
}

How do I display a BitmapImage in the WebCoverFlow. I call a WCF service to get the images, so I do not have a hardcoded path to a static image. The images are returned as BitmapImages, so how to I display a BitmapImage in the control?
