Often used WPF Syntax (and it’s hard to remember – at least for me :( )

Path to an image located in our project:

<Image Source="/My.Asembly.Name;component/Path/to/my/image.png" ... />

Image path  is in the formation of <AssembleName>;component/<Path2YourImageWithinTheAssembly>.

Useful tips:

• To get the formation of the image path, just open design mode, add an image and select its source as an image in your project/solution and see the result.
• We can omit the AssemblyName part if the code and the image are in them same assembly.
  i.e. Only keep <Path2YourImageWithinTheAssembly> in the image path.

<Image Source="Path/to/my/image/without/assembly.png" ... />

Enjoy!
