How to set the ImageSource path with BitmapImage in code-behind

I'm trying to a Background image which is in my VS2010 project's Images folder. I have read the documentation and I tried several ways including following but can't get it to work:

        ImageBrush bg2 = new ImageBrush();
        bg2.ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"/FooApplication1;component/Images/bg1.png"));

        ImageBrush bg1 = new ImageBrush();
        bg1.ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri(BaseUriHelper.GetBaseUri(this), "/FooApplication;component/Images/bg1.png"));

Anyone knows what's wrong?

Solution

  • I think the URI should look something like this:

    "pack://application:,,,/Images/bg1.png"

    Did you read this article on URIs?
