如何从XAML中的项目属性添加图标

Question

Hi I was wondering if there is possibility to get access to project properties resources form xaml. I need to create a menuItem icon, so normally I would do this that way

itemCopy = new MenuItem
                           {

                               Icon = System.Drawing.Icon.FromHandle(NameSpace.Properties.Resources.iconName.GetHicon())
                           };

However I would like to create the same icon directly from XAML without using code behind. Is this possible

Answer 1

You need to set up the respective namespace and do a static reference, eg

<Window ...
    xmlns:prop="clr-namespace:Test.Properties"
    Title="{Binding Source={x:Static prop:Resources.WinTitle}}">

If your reference does not provide an object of the right type or a method call is necessary you could use a ValueConverter .

Icons in resx resources are of type System.Drawing.Icon , but WPF needs an ImageSource . Just change the build action of the icon to "Resource" (not "Embedded Resource"), and refer to it directly in XAML:

<MenuItem Icon="Resources/yourIcon.ico"...
