how to get a relative path of an image where i have following structure of folders

>TestApp.Web
   > ClientBin
      > myXap.xap

In Silverlight you are in a very small sandbox that limits your access to files.
Typically when accessing a directory for files, you are required to use the OpenFile dialog and use whatever the user selects. I do not think you can browse an entire folder grabbing files.

You can do something like this:

C#

string actual_image = "Images/testImage.png"; //Get the relative url of your image
new Uri("SilverlightProjectName;component/"+actual_image, URIKind.relative);

If you want to use the GetResourceStream() you must right click on your image and set the Compilation Action to Resource.

Hope it helps.
