I have folder called images which contains images needed for my WPF app.
Now I want to use them as resource from XAML and from Runtime.

Is it possible, if yes how (MVVM way) ?

Thanks :)

Solution 1

You just need to set your image's build action to Resource in properties, then you can refer to them as normal
a. in code

C#

public Image MyIcon
{
    get
    {
        return new Bitmap(@"images\yourImage.bmp");
    }
}

b. in XAML

HTML

Icon="Images\yourIcon.ico"

Thanks but i want to use resource as ImageSource object not Image

It's the same thing just use something like this - yourBrush.ImageSource =
new BitmapImage(
new Uri(@"Images\yourImage.jpg", UriKind.Relative)
);

this would be a good solution if he'd asked about using resources and not embedded resources
