Im having a problem rendering icons for a dynamic menu which uses viewmodels as an ItemsSource.
The solution I\'ve used is outlined here
MVVM Dynamic Menu UI from bindi
Add x:Shared=false for your Icon value. To do that you should declare Image in resources:
<Grid>
<Grid.Resources>
<Image x:Key="imgCTX" x:Shared="false"
Source="{Binding Path=Icon}" Height="16px" Width="16px"/>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate DataType="{x:Type ViewModels:HeaderedItemViewModel}"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Children}">
<ContentPresenter RecognizesAccessKey="True"></ContentPresenter>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
<Setter Property="Header" Value="{Binding Path=Header}" />
<Setter Property="InputGestureText" Value="{Binding Path=InputGestureText}" />
<Setter Property="Command" Value="{Binding Path=Command}" />
<Setter Property="Icon" Value="{StaticResource imgCTX}" />
</Style>
</Grid.Resources>
<Menu Grid.Row="0" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Shell.Navigation.Menus}" />
</Grid>
