I'm converting an app to run as a Universal Windows App using VS 2015 Community. If I create a webview using the toolbox, I can enter "http://www.google.com" into the Source property, and it will display google.
If I use the drop down on the Source property to reference (say) Help.htm as a local resource, the source windows displays "ms-appx:///Help.htm". Similarly if it is in Assets, it displays "ms-appx:///Assets/Help.htm". When I run the program, where the webview should appear it displays "You will need a new app to display this ms-appx" and invites me to search the store.
I can display a local image in an image box with very similar syntax, with Source being "ms-appx:///Assets/StoreLogo.png". The Source property in this case is in the "common" group, not "miscellaneous", but apart from that appears virtually identical.
Nor can I specify a local path in a URI (although again I can display Google). Behaviour is identical on two different machines. I have spent several days trying to work out what is going on; any suggestions?
Can you please try to load file through code and share results?
