                myBitmapImage.UriSource = new Uri(@"C://image//cards//*.png");

I don't understand why "*" sign is there?

Just make sure path is accessible for the image and your code will work.

You cannot supply wildcards in a URI: the system doesn't know exactly which file you meant, so no file will be loaded. You must specify a full path to a single image file.
