Button with Image not showing in XAML

I am not pretty much new to XAML and I am trying to create a solution which
has buttons with image as background and I am using the following syntax,
and it is not showing up. Also if feasible can somebody guide me how I can
reference these directly from resource file.

<Button>
<Image Source="Resources\Images\Select.png"></Image>

</Button>



Thanks

Atul

In WPF, images must be embedded as Resource - type items. This is different
from the WinForms way to use the Resources.resx.
I usually create a folder, say 'Images' in my project - this creates a file
folder with the same name on disk, then copy the image(s) into this folder
(using windows explorer). Then, go back to Visual Studio. In the project
view, right-click on the 'Images' folder and choose 'Add Existing Item' to
add the image as a resource (shows as Build Action : Resource in the
properties window).
Then simply use e.g. Image Source="Images/mypicture.jpg" im XAML and it
should work.

Thanks for replying as I was thinking nobody looks at this news group.



Anyway I followed your recommended approach and it still does not work. I am
working again June CTP version of windows SDK. Also I have noticed none of
the samples included with the Windows SDK using WPF is able to display
images.



Not sure whether that is a bug in June CTP or what. Would definitely
appreciate any guidance.
