WPF Pack Uri for refrencing file in user directory

Question

How can we use wpf pack uri to reference a file located in user directory. My application creates a folder in user directory and files are downloaded there from internet, which needed to be loaded in wpf through pack uri.

Thanks

Pack uri's only reference files relative to assemblies or the site of origin. Please see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/aa970069.aspx

To reference a file in a user directory you can use a uri something like this: file:///C:/Users/User3/Pictures/screen.jpg
