I'm trying to use the SharpVectors package in my project.

This is my XAML.

I get an exception when I run my app: {"Cannot locate resource 'resources/image.svg'."}

This works if I replace the source path with an url.

Question : the "Resources/image.svg" is relative to where ?

Here's an image of my folder structure :

In my case, I used "/Images/xxx.png" and set my file's "Build Action" to "Content".

(Using "Content" since it proved "smoother" than retrieving embedded images for my scenario)

For WPF, relative URIs are references to resources embedded within the current application:
By default, a relative pack URI is considered relative to the location of the markup or code that contains the reference.

Thanks Richard, I also needed to change the "Build Action" of the resources in project settings for the file.
