This is not duplicate, because those answers don't solve my problem. Anyone of this code don't work. And I have UWP app. @EldarDordzhiev — , Apr 13 '16 at 18:11
The question I referenced is the exact solution for your issue. UWP and Windows 8 XAML UI are basically the same UI frameworks, the solution applies to both. If the code doesn't work, then share your efforts with us. Спасибо. — Eldar Dordzhiev, Apr 13 '16 at 19:44

You can try this snipet

System.Net.Http.HttpClient client = new System.Net.Http.HttpClient();

...

System.Net.Http.HttpResponseMessage imageResponse = await client.GetAsync(imageUrl);

// A memory stream where write the image data
Windows.Storage.Streams.InMemoryRandomAccessStream randomAccess =
new Windows.Storage.Streams.InMemoryRandomAccessStream();

Windows.Storage.Streams.DataWriter writer = 
new Windows.Storage.Streams.DataWriter(randomAccess.GetOutputStreamAt(0));

// Write and save the data into the stream
writer.WriteBytes(await imageResponse.Content.ReadAsByteArrayAsync());
await writer.StoreAsync();

// Create a Bitmap and assign it to the target Image control
Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage bm =
new Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage();
await bm.SetSourceAsync(randomAccess);
productimage.Source = bm;

It's not my snipet, but should work also with UWP. UWP is very similar to Windows 8.1. So you can try to search for WinRT examples

you need to add async predicate to method or button click event — Alexej Sommer, Apr 13 '16 at 18:32

I found answer on my question

It's simple

string url = "url";
productimage.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(url, UriKind.Absolute));

This code is in VB.Net. I guess you could read it and convert to C#. I just wanted to help. Use Windows.Web.Http for UWP as System.Net.Htpp is being depreciated.

Imports Windows.Web.Http
...
Dim client as New HttpClient
Dim response = Await client.GetBufferAsync(ImgUri)
stream = response.AsStream
Dim mem = New MemoryStream()
Await stream.CopyToAsync(mem)
mem.Position = 0
Dim img As New BitmapImage
img.SetSource(mem.AsRandomAccessStream)
Return img
