How to get all image files from folder and display in datagrid in WPF

I once wrote a WPF app that loaded 52 'gif' images of playing cards into a uniform grid. I’ve fished out some of the code and posted it here in the hope that it may assist you.

From the xaml.

<Grid>
       <Grid.RowDefinitions>
           <RowDefinition Height="*" />
           <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
       </Grid.RowDefinitions>
       <Grid HorizontalAlignment="Center"  >

           <ListView ItemsSource="{Binding CardCollection }" >
               <ListView.ItemTemplate>
                   <DataTemplate >
                       <Grid HorizontalAlignment="Center" >
                           <Image   Source="{Binding CardGraphic}" />
                       </Grid>
                   </DataTemplate>
               </ListView.ItemTemplate>
               <ListView.ItemsPanel >
                   <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                       <UniformGrid Columns="13" HorizontalAlignment="Center"  />
                   </ItemsPanelTemplate>
               </ListView.ItemsPanel>
           </ListView>

       </Grid>

private IEnumerable<Card> LoadImagesFromFile()
       {
           string fullCardsPath = Path.GetFullPath(Constants.RelativeFilePath);
           var filenames = new List<String>(Directory.EnumerateFiles(fullCardsPath, Constants.AllImagesOfType));
           return filenames.Select(fileName => new BitmapImage(new Uri(fileName))).Select((cardGraphic, i) => new Card(i, cardGraphic)).ToList();
       }

 public ObservableCollection<Card> CardCollection
       {
           get
           {
               return cardCollection;
           }
           set
           {
               cardCollection = value;
               NotifyPropertyChanged();
           }
       }

public int Index { get; private set; }

    public BitmapImage CardGraphic { get; private set; }

      public Card(int index, BitmapImage cardGraphic)
      {
          Index = index;
          CardGraphic = cardGraphic;
      }

public static  class Constants
   {

      public const string RelativeFilePath = @"..\..\Images";
      public const string ImageType = ".gif";
      public const string AllImagesOfType = "*.gif";

   }
