title: Displaying a GIF in Silverlight
body: <p>I have a number of gifs in a folder on my web server <code>/dir/subdir/bla.gif</code> etc.</p>
  
  <p>On that same server is a Silverlight 3 application <code>/ClientBin/bla.xap</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to display the gifs in the Silverlight app?</p>
  
  <p>I've tried <code>&lt;Image x:Name=img" /&gt;</code> and then in code setting <code>this.img.Source=new BitmapImage(new Uri("/dir/subdir/bla.gif"))</code> with no success.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas welcome.</p>
