title: Windows 8 - How To Change Live Tile Background Image?
body: <p>How do I change the background image of a live tile in my Windows 8 app to a local image? The XML for the template I am using is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;tile&gt;
    &lt;visual&gt;
      &lt;binding template="TileWideImageAndText01"&gt;
        &lt;image id="1" src="image1.png" alt="alt text"/&gt;
        &lt;text id="1"&gt;Text Field 1&lt;/text&gt;
      &lt;/binding&gt;  
    &lt;/visual&gt;
  &lt;/tile&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>For the text, I use </p>
  
  <pre><code>        XmlDocument xmltile= Windows.UI.Notifications.TileUpdateManager.GetTemplateContent(Windows.UI.Notifications.TileTemplateType.TileWideImageAndText01);
  
          xmltile.GetElementsByTagName("text")[0].AppendChild(xmltile.CreateTextNode("73°F, Mostly Cloudy"));
  
          TileNotification tileupdate = new Windows.UI.Notifications.TileNotification(xmltile);
  
          Windows.UI.Notifications.TileUpdateManager.CreateTileUpdaterForApplication().Update(tileupdate);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But what about for the image?</p>
