wpf - How to reference image resources in XAML?

Question

I put an Image control on a Window and I would like to display an image that is stored in a project resource file named "Resources.resx". The name of the image in the resource file is 'Search'.

Could someone show me how I might go about doing this?

Answer 1

If the image is in your resources folder and its build action is set to Resource. You can reference the image in XAML as follows:

"pack://application:,,,/Resources/Search.png"

Assuming you do not have any folder structure under the Resources folder and it is an application. For example I use:

ImageSource="pack://application:,,,/Resources/RibbonImages/CloseButton.png"

when I have a folder named RibbonImages under Resources folder.
