xaml image not showing .source

Question

I am new to xaml and wpf in general. I am trying to make an image appear in a user control this is the code I use:

   BitmapImage captchaSource = new BitmapImage();
                        captchaSource.BeginInit();
                        captchaSource.UriSource = new Uri(_captchaData.ImgUrl);
                        captchaSource.EndInit();
                        captchaImg.Source = captchaSource;

this is the ui code:

<Image Height="105" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="12,38,0,0" Name="captchaImg" Stretch="Fill" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="276" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" />

But nothing happens. No image appears. This is the url in _captchaData.ImgUrl http://www.google.ro/images/srpr/logo3w.png

Does anyone have any idea why this is?

from previous question:

"WebURL can't be provided as a source to UriSource property of BitmapImage. If it is weburl you need to download that image locally and bind that path to UriSource."
