ImageSource

How can I create an ImageSource using an image that is an embeded resource?
BitmapImage cann't be used since it uses Uri to reference its image, instead
of or in addition to a stream.

Yes, you can use BitmapImage, try to use the image's relative Uri.

I don't follow. How can I use a URI to point to an embeded resource, the image?

If an image is 'Resource' or 'Content' in the project, you can use relative
Uris, both in markup and code

<BitmapImage UriSource="myImage.png"/>

BitmapImage image = new BitmapImage();
image.BeginInit();
image.UriSource = new Uri("myImage.png");
image.EndInit();

Thanks, got it.
