I got little problem with my image path for ribonn aplicaton menu item.
I got this piece of code:
<ribbon:RibbonApplicationMenuItem x:Name="MenuItemLogout" Header="Odhásit"
ImageSource="/Resources/logoutSmall.png"
Command="{Binding RelogUserCommand}"/>
The thing i want is: the right path of image. Because in this case, Visual Studio cant find that path. This are two different project. The one where i using this ribbon is called Z05.WPF.WeighingSystem in folder 01_LoadingPlace/ViewAnnouncedVehicles - in this folder i have particular xaml and view model.
And i have another project called Z05.DesktopApplication where i have folder called Resources and there i have all of my images. I also tried to use this path:
pack://application:,,,/Resources/
But its also doesnt work.
Any tips? Thanks! :)
I have a file for applying styles to all controls ApplicationTheme.xaml and images in Images folder.
The build action is set to resource and copy to output directory always.
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Theme/ApplicationTheme.xaml"/>
</Application.Resources>
Now similarly i give the image source in the application theme file
ImageSource="Images\SGL-BG.jpg"
However i am getting error message
"'Failed to create a 'ImageSource' from the text 'Images\\SGL-BG.jpg'.'
What am i doing wrong here ? This is the approach i see mentioned on websites. Also if i give the full path it works. It fails to detect the theme file as well when i give Theme/ApplicationTheme.xaml. I am a WPF noob and i am not able to find solution to this seemingly simple issue.
Try this:
Source="/MyProject;component/Images/SGL-BG.jpg"
I'm attempting to use a resx file to localize some strings I am using in a XAML file. I've looked around at other documentation on the web, and they all seem to recommend a two part process:
Add a clr-namespace to your window, like this:
xmlns:props="clr-namespace:PJConfiguration.Properties"
Use that namespace to localize your string like this:
Content="{x:Static props:Resources.SharedSettings}"
I've done this, and also made sure that my resource classes are public, but I still get the following error from the XAML in step 2:
Cannot find the type 'Resources'.
Does anyone know what else might be causing this problem? Thanks in advance.
In order to make the Resources visible to XAML, you have to make sure that the code generation mode for the resources is set to public. In VS, you find that setting in a ComboBox near the top of the Resources designer window.
For more information on using .Net resources in XAML, you might want to refer to these blog posts: http://wpfglue.wordpress.com/category/localization/
Check if your .resx file is the default Resources.resx file inside the Properties directory of the Application assembly. If that is, there is no reason XAML couldn't find the public class Resources from the correct namespace under local assembly.
Try to specify the assembly name in Step 2 as recommended in this answer.
I have "WPF userControl Library" project. In it I have window which has next line of code
<Image x:Name="imgInstructionIcon" Source="images/InfoIcon.png" >
and also in project I have "images" folder which contains InfoIcon.png file. But My code didn't see this file and give next error:
Error 58 The file images/InfoIcon.png is not part of the project or its 'Build Action' property is not set to 'Resource'
When I change path to the Source=../images/InfoIcon.png I see my icon in designer but not see in runtime.
My project is part of Solution.
Try the uri pack syntac - Read more here
Set the Source="images/InfoIcon.png", BuildAction to Resource and compile the application. Now you can see in designer as well as runtime.
Try doing as the error says: select the image in the solution explorer, then in the properties set the build action to resource. It should fix your problem.
I have an Image control that contains a path to an embedded image (build action 'resource').
<Image Source="Assets/images/image.png" Stretch="None" />
If I add that to a container in my MainPage.xaml the image appears fine. When having the same image in a UserControl as shown below, and then adding an instance of that UserControl on MainPage.xaml the image does not appear.
<UserControl x:Class="HomePage.Views.SimpleUserContol"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" >
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" >
<Image Source="Assets/images/image.png" Stretch="None" />
</Grid>
</UserControl>
Can anyone shed any light on why this happening and maybe point me in the direction of a solution.
Cheers, J
(I'm working in Silverlight but would think the same thing probably happens in WPF)
EDIT:
Setting
<Image Source="/Assets/images/image.png" Stretch="None" />
works fine when setting the build action to 'Content' however it doesn't work when using 'resource'. The problem is definatly it's relative position in the file structure as add ../ works fine. I'd still like a solution to get an image from the assembly if possible
You have to reference it as a resource, not just the path.
This is how it is done in a WPF application:
<Image Source="/MyAppName;component/images/image.png" Stretch="None" />
The original image is located in images/image.png
Note:
I have no experience in SilverLight, but you said it is probably similiar in WPF, so I suggest this...
You're using a relative path to the image. If your UserControl is located in a subdirectory, the relative path is not valid anymore. You should use an absolute path like "/Assets/images/image.png", or "pack://application:,,,/Assets/images/image.png" (use this last version if your UserControl is going to be used by another assembly)
If you needed to change its build type from Content to Resource, try building clean. I had everything exactly right (path to other project's resources, build type, et al.) yet it didn't work until I added a new image to the images folder, which perhaps cleared out the old statuses.
In fact, manually delete the bin and obj folders in the project where the image is.
I think the problem is related to the "virtual" namespace your image got when it's embedded in ressources (from the logical path to it) and the difference with your usercontrol namespace.
using a '/' to get to the root of the site works only if the root of the site is not within a subdirectory. ie: an admin site as a subdirectory to the main site (http://www.somesite.com/admin). In this case using '/assets/images/image.png' would then go to the parent site first. You may be able to reference the image like so: '~/assets/images/image.png'
I've also found the when an image has special characters that require encoding in the file name, like "+", which gets encoded %2b can cause the problem as well.
I suggest renaming any images that might have contain escape characters.
I had this problem and I tried moving the image in and out of the Canvas, and up and down the Canvas container. I even tried manipulating the panel.zindexes to no avail. I was using source= "/images/map.jpg". The image folder was created by right clicking the project and adding folder, so it was below the resources folder.
Solved: I navigated to the images folder in windows explorer and used alt+d, and ctrl+c to copy the file location with these \ instead of these / and voila it worked.
