Hi ,

use this function to retrieve the path of image exists with your executable file :

Private Function GetExePath() As String  

Return (Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.GetName.CodeBase)) 

End Function

In Properties Panel set your image property :

Build Action : Content

Copy to output : Copy if newer

This way your image will be transformed into your project directory on Emulator.

 

Let me know if you need any help
