I am developing some custom activities in Windows workflow using the designer to add some nice custom looks for users. I have been able to do everything like in WPF mostly although I am having an issue loading images in the actual workflow view. This is how it looks in the designer
<sap:ActivityDesigner.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="Collapsed">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition MaxWidth="40"/>
<ColumnDefinition/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image MaxWidth="40" MaxHeight="20" Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Source="pack://application:,,,/Images/Web.ico"></Image>
<Label VerticalContentAlignment="Center" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" Grid.Column="1">Collapsed View</Label>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="Expanded">
<Grid>
<Label>hi</Label>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
<Style x:Key="ExpandOrCollapsedStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ContentPresenter}">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{DynamicResource Collapsed}"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=ShowExpanded}" Value="true">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{DynamicResource Expanded}"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</sap:ActivityDesigner.Resources>
<Grid>
<ContentPresenter Style="{DynamicResource ExpandOrCollapsedStyle}" Content="{Binding}" />
</Grid>
</sap:ActivityDesigner>
But in Visual Studio 2015 when creating a workflow, it looks like this:
What I've found is that the image needs to include the namespace. The image tag should look similar to this:
<Image MaxWidth="40" MaxHeight="20" Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Source="pack://application:,,,/MyNamespace;component/Lookup.png"></Image>
The Build Action for the Lookup.png should be "Resource".
