Answer 1

Hi, when you add an image or an icon to your wpf application they will be added by default as a resource. To reference the resource do the following

  <Image Source="/WpfApplication1;component/image.jpg" Height="200" Width="200"/>

Above my application is WpfApplication1 image.jpg is located in the root of my project. If you want to use a folder to staore your images you can. They can be referenced the same way:

  <Image Source="/WpfApplication1;component/YourFolder/image.jpg" Height="200" Width="200"/>

But when I will have all the picture in a c# class?

Then i can make easy a change of a jpg or an icon in a c# class.

And i must not copy all of my picture and icons to my customers...

Answer 4

What I mean is a resource file that have all icons etc. intern in a library.

Under windows there is a resource file a windows dll with a lot of picture and you can pic up

one of the picture and show the picture e.g. on a button or on a widow etc.
