Binding to resource key, WPF

I have a ResourceDictionary with some images:

<BitmapImage UriSource="..\Images\Bright\folder-bright.png"
             x:Key="FolderItemImage" />

I've create a HierarchicalTemplate for treeview items like the following:

<HierarchicalDataTemplate ItemsSource="{Binding VisibleChildren}"
                          DataType="{x:Type st:StructureTreeItem}">
    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
        <TextBlock Text="{Binding ImageResourceKey}" />
        <Image x:Name="iIcon2" Source="{DynamicResource FolderItemImage}"/>
        <Image x:Name="iIcon"
               Source="{DynamicResource {Binding ImageResourceKey}}"/>
    </StackPanel>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>

Now, when item is displayed:

Textblock displays FolderItemImage
First image is shown
Second image is not shown.

The whole idea is to set item images to ones stored in resources, but the technique presented above unfortunately won't work and now I know, why:

<Image x:Name="iIcon3" Width="16" Height="16" Margin="0, 1, 3, 1" >
    <Image.Source>
        <DynamicResource ResourceKey="{Binding ImageResourceKey}" />
    </Image.Source>
</Image>

Result:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException' occurred in PresentationFramework.dll

Additional information: A 'Binding' cannot be set on the 'ResourceKey' property of type 'DynamicResourceExtension'. A 'Binding' can only be set on a DependencyProperty of a DependencyObject.

So I have to rephrase my question: how can I convert some data (a resource key, perhaps?) stored in model to a dynamic resource? It has to be a dynamic resource, because I'm certain it may change during runtime.

I write following markup extension to allow binding to resourceKey in general case

using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Globalization;

using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Markup;

        {
            return (object)obj.GetValue(ResourceBindingKeyHelperProperty);
        }

        public static void SetResourceBindingKeyHelper(DependencyObject obj, object value)
        {
            obj.SetValue(ResourceBindingKeyHelperProperty, value);
        }

        // Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for ResourceBindingKeyHelper.  This enables animation, styling, binding, etc...
        public static readonly DependencyProperty ResourceBindingKeyHelperProperty =
            DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("ResourceBindingKeyHelper", typeof(object), typeof(ResourceBinding), new PropertyMetadata(null, ResourceKeyChanged));

        static void ResourceKeyChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            var target = d as FrameworkElement;
            var newVal = e.NewValue as Tuple<object, DependencyProperty>;

            if (target == null || newVal == null)
                return;

            var dp = newVal.Item2;

            if (newVal.Item1 == null)
            {
                target.SetValue(dp, dp.GetMetadata(target).DefaultValue);
                return;
            }

            target.SetResourceReference(dp, newVal.Item1);

        }

Usage

<Image Source="{local:ResourceBinding ImageResourceKey}"/>

It cannot be done directly. There's another way though involving an attached property:

public static class ImageHelper {

    private static void SourceResourceKeyChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e) {

        var element = d as Image;
        if (element != null) {

            element.SetResourceReference(Image.SourceProperty, e.NewValue);
        }
    }

    public static readonly DependencyProperty SourceResourceKeyProperty = DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("SourceResourceKey",
        typeof(object),
        typeof(ImageHelper),
        new PropertyMetadata(String.Empty, SourceResourceKeyChanged));

    public static void SetSourceResourceKey(Image element, object value) {

        element.SetValue(SourceResourceKeyProperty, value);
    }

    public static object GetSourceResourceKey(Image element) {

        return element.GetValue(SourceResourceKeyProperty);
    }
}

And then:

<Image local:ImageHelper.SourceResourceKey="{Binding SomeValue}" />

I don't think it's possible to use dynamic string value as a key for a dictionary in a way you're trying to do this.

You need to either make a Converter that converts from a string to ImageSource or use DataTrigger to choose Source depending on ImageResourceKey

using Converter:

in resources:

<local:StringToResource x:Key="StringToResource" />

then:

<Image x:Name="iIcon" Source="{Binding ImageResourceKey, Converter={StaticResource StringToResource}}"/>

your converter may look like:

public class StringToResource: IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        return Application.Current.FindResource(value as string);
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}
