Set Image Source from app.xaml /wpf

Question

I'm trying to get an image of my project and put it in a Style of my App.xaml

<Style x:Key="image_campange_map" TargetType="Image">
    <Setter Property="Source" Value="../Images/map.jpg"/>
</Style>

The problem : Could not find a part of the path 'C:\WINDOWS\Images\map.jpg

How could i get the local path of the Image i'm stylling ? Thanks !

Answer 1

Set the Build Action to "Content" and the Output to "Copy Always" in the Images properties.

Then create a BitmapImage resource instead of a style. Example:

 <Window.Resources>
    <BitmapImage x:Key="myKey" UriSource="Images/map.jpg"/>
 </Window.Resources>

Now just set your Image source

 <Image Source="{StaticResource myKey}"/>
