Dynamically adding and loading image from Resources in C#

Question

I have some images added to my solution, right now it is under the folder images\\flowers\\rose.png inside the solution explorer. I want a way to dynamically load this imag

Answer 1

I had some problems to find the exact syntax for the URI, so see below more details :

If your image (myImage.png) is located in a subfolder "images" (from the root directory) , the exact syntax is :

image.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"pack://application:,,,/images/myImage.png", UriKind.Absolute));

If your image is in the subfolder images/icon/ (from the root directory) , the syntax is :

image.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"pack://application:,,,/images/icon/myImage.png", UriKind.Absolute));

• Note that the part "pack://application:,,, does not change.
• Be sure to set the "Build action" to "Resources"
