title: Unable to load external images in Silverlight
body: <p>I'm trying to load an image from a URL in Silverlight and have followed the steps at <a href="http://blogs.silverlight.net/blogs/msnow/archive/2009/01/22/silverlight-tip-of-the-day-86-how-to-load-external-images.aspx" rel="nofollow">this site</a> but to no avail.</p>
  
  <p>My code is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code> imageUri = new Uri("http://php.scripts.psu.edu/dept/iit/hbg/philanthropy/Images/BlueSkyLarge.jpg", UriKind.Absolute);
   System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage bi = new    System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage();
   bi.UriSource = imageUri;
   m_Image.Source = bi;
  
   m_Image.ImageOpened += new EventHandler&lt;RoutedEventArgs&gt;(Image_Opened);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The callback function (Image_Opened) is never called either..</p>
