WPF Image not Showing at Runtime

In order to display images in a WPF application at runtime, you need to make sure that the image file is included in your project and that the necessary properties are set correctly. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:

1. Make sure the image file is included in your project: Right-click on your project in Visual Studio and select “Add” > “Existing Item”. Browse and select the image file you want to display. By default, Visual Studio will then copy the image file to your project directory.
2. Set the “Build Action” property of the image file: Select the image file in the Solution Explorer, and in the Properties window, set the “Build Action” property to “Resource”. This ensures that the image file will be embedded within the compiled assembly.
3. Specify the image file as a source for the Image control: In your XAML code, declare an Image control and set its “Source” property to the path of the image file within your project. For example, if the image file is located in a folder named “Images” in your project, the source path would be something like “/Images/myImage.png”. Make sure to set the correct path and file extension.

Here’s an example of how you can implement this:

    
      <Window x:Class="MyApp.MainWindow"
              xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
              xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
              Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800">
      
          <Grid>
              <Image Source="/Images/myImage.png" />
          </Grid>
          
      </Window>
    
  

Make sure to replace “/Images/myImage.png” with the correct path and file name for your image file. Once you run the application, the image should be displayed correctly.
