class

public class imagedetail {     public string filename { get; set; }     public string coordinates { get; set; } } 

converter

public class imagedetailconverter : ivalueconverter {     public object convert(object value, type targettype, object parameter, system.globalization.cultureinfo culture)     {         iruntimeconfigurations configs = servicelocator.current.getinstance<iruntimeconfigurations>();         return new bitmap(image.fromfile(path.combine(configs.rootimagepath, ((iimagedetail)value).filename)));     } } 

your converter returns system.drawing.bitmap, winforms, not wpf.

it should return wpf imagesource (e.g. bitmapimage) instead:

public object convert(     object value, type targettype, object parameter, cultureinfo culture) {     var imagedetail = (imagedetail)value;     var configs = servicelocator.current.getinstance<iruntimeconfigurations>();     var path = path.combine(configs.rootimagepath, imagedetail.filename);     var uri = new uri(path, urikind.relativeorabsolute);      return new bitmapimage(uri); }

note wpf provides built-in type conversion uri , string (containing valid uri) imagesource, converter return uri or path value.
