Hi Marco,

How about using an ImageButton?

This would not be a good solution.
Since he is asking for a WPF solution (stated in the question tags) I thought I'll point him towards the WPF solution for the problem.

If you are using an Image Button for many of your Button controls and later there are some requirement changes who might want to have a descriptive text near the image you would kinda run into problems because you would have to exchange all the image buttons. And a further fact is that an image button is a Web-Control but WPF is a client technology. So there is no "System.Web.UI.WebControls.ImageButton" available for WPF Projects.

Solution 1

You can override the button style in the App.xaml.

See this blog entry[^] or the MSDN entry[^]. You can place a picture box inside of the button and disable the other graphics around it. I don't know the exact way from scratch but the two links should give you a good start.
