Change image source using C#

Question

I'm creating a windows store app and was wondering how to change the image source using C# I have included the following directive;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.Imaging;

and this is the line I have to try and change the image

cloud.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("Assets/cloud1.png", UriKind.Relative));

cloud is the name of the image tag and cloud1 is the source I want to change it to.. but it gives me this error...

"The given System.Uri cannot be converted into a Windows.Foundation.Uri"

Any help appreciated! thanks in advance

Use

cloud.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("ms-appx:/Assets/cloud1.png", UriKind.Relative));

instead.

I had to change "UriKind.Relative" to "UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute" but with the inclusion of ms-appx it worked! thanks, how come that worked? what did it actually do?
