Click Image which then directs to a url in IE

Question

Windows Phone 8 App

In my MainPage.xaml I have the following:

<Image HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="215" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="450" Margin="10,299,-40,0" Source="/Assets/Images/MTCOB.jpg"/>

What I want is for the user to tap this and then a website open in IE8.

In my MainPage.xmal.cs I have the following:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Navigation;
using Microsoft.Phone.Controls;
using Microsoft.Phone.Shell;
using GamesWithGold.Resources;
using Microsoft.Phone.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Interop;

namespace GamesWithGold
{
    public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
    {

        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Image_Tap(object sender, System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e)
        {

        }

    }
}

.............

I am new to this so would really like some help getting my first app out in BETA.

Try this:

private void Image_Tap(object sender, System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e)
        {
            WebBrowserTask BrowserTask = new WebBrowserTask();
            BrowserTask.Uri = new Uri("http://www.google.com",UriKind.Absolute);
            BrowserTask.Show();
        }
