Adding Images to a FlipView Dynamically

Hi everyone,

I was looking for a way to load images in a FlipView control dynamically and here's my solution.

We'll be creating 3 FlipViewItems and setting their Background property to 3 ImageBrush objects.

Note that, first you need to have a FlipView on your page.

Ok, let's start coding!

1. First create 3 ImageBrush objects:
   
   FlipView flip1 =newFlipView();
   ImageBrush brush1 = newImageBrush();
   brush1.ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/image1.png"));
   ImageBrush brush2 = newImageBrush();
   brush2.ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/image2.png"));
   ImageBrush brush3 = newImageBrush();
   brush3.ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/image3.png"));
    
2. Then create 3 FlipViewItem objects and assign their Background property as the ImageBrush objects that we recently created:
   
   FlipViewItem flipvw1 = newFlipViewItem();
   flipvw1.Background = brush1;
   FlipViewItem flipvw2 = newFlipViewItem();
   flipvw2.Background = brush2;
   FlipViewItem flipvw3 = newFlipViewItem();
   flipvw3.Background = brush3;
    
3. And finally add these FlipViewItems to a FlipView object:
   
   flip1.Items.Add(flipvw1);
   flip1.Items.Add(flipvw2);
   flip1.Items.Add(flipvw3);

And run it! You'll be displaying 3 images in a Flipview control now.



Hope it helps!
