Yes, using Silverlight, for example:

In Page.xaml:

and in Page.xaml.cs:

public partial class Page : UserControl
{
    public Page()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        this.Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(Page_Loaded);
    }

    void Page_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        btn1.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(btn1_Click);
    }

    void btn1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog();
        if (ofd.ShowDialog() == true)
        {
            Stream s = ofd.File.OpenRead();
            BitmapImage bi = new BitmapImage();
            bi.SetSource(s);
            img1.Source = bi;
            s.Close();
        }
    }
}
