How can I set an Image to an Image control in WPF?

Question

I'm trying to do this:

imgUser.Source = new Uri(user.Photo);

But I'm getting an error that I cannot convert a URI to an ImageSource. Any help?

BitmapImage is an ImageSource and can be created from a Uri:

imgUser.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(user.Photo));
