Accessing image from Resource File in XAML markup
Suppose we have an image in our Resource file named as LeftBaseTriangle.bmp.

In order to access it via XAML, all we need is to add a reference to project properties like below:
XML
xmlns:properties="clr-namespace:Azad.Modules.MyProject.Properties"


and add the following code:

XML
<image source="{Binding Source={x:Static properties:Resources.LeftBaseTriangle}}" />

It's four years since original post so I hope someone's listening...

This is not working for me.

The first problem is that I'm not sure I've setup the "properties"xmlns item correctly. I have it set to "MyProj.Properties " (where "MyProj" is the namespace for everything in the project).

Maybe I'm missing the equivalent of "Azad.Modules" from the example, but I dunno what my equivalent would be.

VS2013 isn't flagging anything in the XAML as an error at design time, but at runtime I get this:

A first chance exception of type 'System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException' occurred in PresentationFramework.dll

Additional information: 'Provide value on 'System.Windows.Markup.StaticExtension' threw an exception.' Line number '29' and line position '59'.

Here's my XAML. I removed some of the default xmlns items that VS2013 puts into the first tag, to simplify things.
<UserControl x:Class="TriviaGame.MediaElementsBrowserPanel"
             xmlns:properties="clr-namespace:TriviaGame.Properties"
             mc:Ignorable="d" 
             DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"
             d:DesignHeight="294" d:DesignWidth="738" Loaded="UserControl_Loaded">
    <Grid>
        <WrapPanel Background="#FFFFB8B8" Margin="0,0,0,0">
            <Button Width="24" Height="24" Click="Button_Click" Padding="0" Margin="5,0,0,0" Background="{x:Null}">
                <Image Height="24" Width="24" Source="{Binding Source={x:Static properties:Resources.icon_delete}}"/>
            </Button>
        </WrapPanel>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>
