We have a Silverlight 4 project that makes use of png images for PointStyles. The project has been working fine for months based on the following implementation (simple example):
PointStyle pointStyle = new PointStyle(new GeoImage(new Uri("/Theme/Images/bluestar.png", UriKind.Relative), 15, 15));
The images reside in a \Theme\Images folder in the shell Silverlight (v4) project and have a Build Action of "Content".
Since installing Silverlight 5 on my development workstation the images no longer show up for me but continue to display on workstations that have not upgraded to Silverlight 5. Also, Silverlight is now trying to retrieve the images from .png">localhost/Theme/Images/<imagename>.png (but app is running in virtual directory localhost/abc/, so urls cause 404 Not Found error). Even if I try copying the images folder to the localhost root, the images won't appear despite their urls being valid.
I upgraded to build Silverlight Edition build 5.5.0.49 and the problem persists. Can you determine:
1. Why the images are not appearing, and
2. Why Silverlight 5 is trying to get the images externally when Silverlight 4 did not?
