How to use image path as an image source in GridImageColumn?

GridImageColumn helps you bind the types that are supported by Image.Source,
such as BitMapImage. When you bind a format other than the supported format, such as name of the image or file path of the image, GridImageColumn does not load the images. In such cases, you can use converter in ValueBinding for GridImageColumn that converts the string path to support Image source format. The following code example illustrates how to bind the image name or file path to GridImageColumn with the help of ValueBinding along with Converter to convert image name to BitMapImage.

XAML
