title: Converter failed to convert value of type 'Windows.Foundation.String' to type 'ImageSource'
body: <p><strong>This is for my Windows 8 app:</strong></p>
  
  <p>In my object I have a string property that contains the path of the images I want to use.</p>
  
  <pre><code>public String ImagePath
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In my XAML I have set up an Image tag with the following binding:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Image Source="{Binding ImagePath}" Margin="50"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I reference an image that I've included in my project (in the Asset folder) the image displays correctly.  The path is: <code>Assets/car2.png</code></p>
  
  <p>However, when I reference an image that the user selects (using the FilePicker) I get an error (<strong>and no image</strong>). The path is: <code>C:\Users\Jeff\Pictures\myImage.PNG</code></p>

  <p>Just to add a little more info.  When I use the file picker I am converting the file location to a URI:</p>
  
  <pre><code>        Uri uriAddress =  new Uri(file.Path.ToString());
          _VM.vehicleSingle.ImagePath = uriAddress.LocalPath;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong> </p>
  
  <p>I'm also saving this image path to isolated storage.  I think this is where the issue is.  I'm able to save the path of the file selected, but when I try to bind to it when I'm reloading the Isolated Storage it doesn't work.  </p>
  
  <p>So if I can't use an image outside of the application directory.  Is there a way I can save that image and add it to the directory?</p>
  
  <p>I tried creating a BitmapImage property to my model but now I'm getting errors stating that it can't serialize a BitmapImage.  </p>
