将URI设置为图像源应用程序中的根目录

Question

How do you set the URI for an image source to the root directory (ie same folder as your exe) in a WPF application?

var myImage = new Image();
myImage.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("pack://application:,,,/AssemblyName;component/speedline.png", UriKind.Absolute));

I've tried the above and keep getting the following error message:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in mscorlib.dll. Additional information: Could not load file or assembly 'AssemblyName, Culture=neutral' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I am obviously doing something very wrong, but can guarantee that the png file can be found at C:\\Users\\Admin\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2013\\Projects\\Speedy\\Speedy\\bin\\Debug , in the same folder as my exe file, but how do I reference it?

Answer 1

Create a new folder under the solution explorer called component and add the existing image under that. Now try using the Relative path.

myImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri("/component/speedline.png", UriKind.Relative));
