Vista - button images from resources

Hi all!

I am using VS2005 and I am struggling with a simple problem for which I
couldn't find a simple solution. Maybe because my background is
hardcore Java .

So, I included an image in my resources and I want to use it form XAML.
The code I saw so far says to put something like:

<Image Source="..\Resources\image.gif" ...

which is in my opinion ... strange because I saw that each image added
to the resources generates code like this:

quote form Resources.resx xaml
.....
<data name="image" type="System.Resources.ResXFileRef,
System.Windows.Forms">
<value>..\Resources\image.gif;System.Drawing.Bitmap,
System.Drawing, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a</value>
</data>
......

and

qoute from Resource.Designer.cs
.....
internal static System.Drawing.Bitmap image{
get {
object obj = ResourceManager.GetObject("image",
resourceCulture);
return ((System.Drawing.Bitmap)(obj));
}
}
.....

So, I "feel" that VS generates some items for me to use but I couldn't
figure out how to do it from XAML. I agree that VS created the
Resources directory into my project although the initial image was in a
different directory - and this might help - but still, I find this ...
strange.

The only way I found to use the "image" was programmatically in c#
using ResourceManager and a Bitmap to BitmapImage converter which
somehow duplicates the code generated automatically by VS.

I repeat, I'd like to use the image from resources in XAML only.

Is

<Image Source="..\Resource\image.gif" ...

the only way?

Thank you,
