Get pixel format, raw format, property id list and property items image in VB.net - C#.net.

I've read all the posts I could find on this error but I'm still stumped.

I have a user control with a dependency property named Image.

In the user control I have a stack panel that contains an image and I set the binding in the xaml

<Image HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="3,0,0,0" Width="85" Height="75" Source="{Binding ElementName=UserControl, Path=Image}"/>

In a code behind I try to set the image for an instance of this control named WeatherNB

                BitmapImage bi1 = new BitmapImage();
                bi1.BeginInit();
                bi1.UriSource = new Uri(currentImage, UriKind.Relative);
                bi1.EndInit();
                this.WeatherNB.Image = bi1;

but I get the following error

Unhandled Exception: System.NotSupportedException: No information was found about this pixel format.

Hello,

I have a date property.

I need to edit it in "dd/MM/YYYY" format. In display mode - its ok.

but when I enter the text box date this date:"31/12/2011" - it throws validation message.

In my MetaDate I did:

 

[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}")]
