Vista - Image resources

Hi,
If I set the application icon in the project properties, How can I load it
to the WPF window icon?

Can I store the graphics in XAML?

How can I set the graphics in databound control item, eg. in
treeview/listbox etc?

Thanks,
Jan

When you browse for and set an icon file in the project properties in
Visual Studio, you will see that file appear in the solution explorer as
it has been added to the project (physically) and will be compiled as a
resource. To get that icon to actually be used in the Window specify the
Icon property for the Window Object in the XAML:

<Window x:Class="myapp.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="iconplay" Height="300" Width="300"
Icon="myicon.ico"
>
.....

store the graphics in XAML? ==> You can declare (vector) objects that
are graphics in XAML. Have a look at the System.Windows.Shapes Namespace
and its derived classes as in:
<Line X1="200" Y1="150" X2="300" Y2="250" Stroke="Red" />

raster graphics are handled by the Image class:
<Image>
<Image.Source>
<BitmapImage UriSource="myjpg.jpg" />
</Image.Source>
</Image>

......

set the graphics in databound control item?==> You will need to use a
DataTemplate. see "Data Templating Overview" in the SDK docs.

Hi Bob!
Thank you for your answer, it is exactly what I was asking.
For graphics in DataBound item I found that I would need write the
converter.

Just a little question - can I embed the resource in xaml like CDATA or
something?

Thanks,
Jan

The question begs: "Why bother?" are you looking to use only loose XAML?
All the intelligent minds at MS came up with XAML and codebehind,
marrying them together (via the partial keyword) into a single class, as
a means to cleanly seperate the visual design from the nuts and bolts on
the backend. If you are still interested, google up "XAML + CDATA" and
see how to place code in the markup and the XAML compiler will take care
of it.
