How should I use my custom windows based build tools docker image from aws ECR repo as environment in my CDK build script

Question

I am creating aws codepipeline for windows WPF application for this I have already created custom docker image which has VS2017 build tools in it and this image will work as build environment to build all my .Net framework related applications. I have successfully created aws pipeline from UI i.e. aws console, but I am trying to create CDK stack for this same thing using typescript below is my code

import cdk = require('@aws-cdk/core'); 
import codecommit = require('@aws-cdk/aws-codecommit'); 
import codebuild = require('@aws-cdk/aws-codebuild'); 
import codepipeline = require('@aws-cdk/aws-codepipeline'); 
import codepipeline_actions = require('@aws-cdk/aws-codepipeline-actions'); 
import s3 = require('@aws-cdk/aws-s3'); 
import { Repository } from '@aws-cdk/aws-codecommit'; 

export class CdkClickOnceAppPipelineStack extends cdk.Stack { 
  constructor(scope: cdk.Construct, id: string, props?: cdk.StackProps) { 
    super(scope, id, props); 

    const code = codecommit.Repository.fromRepositoryName(this, 'WPFAppRepo','WPFClickOnceApp'); 
    const cdkBuild = new codebuild.PipelineProject(this,'CdkBuild',{ 
     description: 'AWS build project for .Net WPF click once application', 
     environment: {buildImage:codebuild.WindowsBuildImage.WIN_SERVER_CORE_2016_BASE} 
    }); 

  } 
}

In this code I can specify environment as WIN_SERVER_CORE_2016_BASE which is the base image provided by aws but I want to specify my custom docker image which I have ready in my aws ECR repository.

Can someone help me with this I could not find documentation for windows .Net framework stuff on internet.

you can do define an image like this:

 const ecrRepo = awsEcr.Repository.fromRepositoryArn (this,[repo Id],'arn:aws:ecr:us-east-1:[account Id]:repository/RepoName');

const cdkBuild = new codebuild.PipelineProject(this,'CdkBuild',{ 
     description: 'AWS build project for .Net WPF click once application', 
     environment: {buildImage:codebuild.WindowsBuildImage.fromEcrRepository(ecrRepo,'latest')} 
    });
