wpf - Dynamically adding and loading image from Resources in C#

Question

I have some images added to my solution, right now it is under the folder imagesflowers ose.png inside the solution explorer. I want a way to dynamically load this image to my image control.

My current approach is making the type 'content' and use 'copy always' properties. Then i would give relative path to the image like below.

Image2.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("/images/flowers/Customswipe_b.png", UriKind.Relative));

Is there any way to make it load from the resource without copying it to the target system.

Answer 1

The following works just fine for me:

image.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("pack://application:,,,/YourAssemblyName;component/Resources/someimage.png", UriKind.Absolute));

Also you should change the Build Action of your image from None to Resource.
