• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Cannot set Image Source from IValueConverter?

  I'm trying to use an IValueConverter to pick an image to show. In this case, I have images of country flags that I want to show next to the country code. I also have a tooltip with the full country name. Here is the Xaml I'm using. This Xaml shows a hard-coded image name that works and another image whose source is set from the IValueConverter.
