Answer 1

I actually got this to work, but had to set my source to "/ProjectName;component/images/view.png" Because I have the ProjectName as a referenced assembly this is then the same as the Path: portion at the msdn page that I referenced in the question.

Answer 2

Xaml.VB

Call the Image from Application folder and Design Page

Private Sub LoadImages()
        Dim strUri As String
        strUri = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory() & "\NavigationImages\settingsicon.png"
        Image2.Source = New BitmapImage(New Uri(strUri))
    End Sub

Page load in Xaml.VB

Call LoadImages()

Xaml Design Page

Image Name="Image2"Height="32" HorizontalAlignment="Left" 

Answer 3

Set the Build Action for 'view.png' to Resource instead of Content and this problem should go away. I was able to reproduce your problem this way and it works correctly when set as a Resource.
