Adding Image in Run Time - wpf

Question

I want to add an image from my Resources to an Image on the press of a Button.
Using Image1.Source = Properties.Resources.MyImage Does not work because the Image1 is of type ImageSource and the Left side is of type Drawing. How can I fix this code to display the image in my resource to the Image on button press?

This seems to work:
In app.xaml:
<Application.Resources>
<Image x:Key="myImage" Source="C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Desert.jpg"/>
</Application.Resources>
in MainWindow.xaml:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid x:Name="myGrid" Margin="5" Width="500">
<StackPanel>
<Button Content="Load Picture" Click="Button_Click_1"/>
<Image x:Name="ImageHolder"/>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
in button click event:
private void Button_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Image img = Application.Current.Resources["myImage"] as Image;
ImageHolder.Source = img.Source;
}
So in your code you need to do :
Image myImage = Properties.Resources.MyImage as Image;
Image1.Source = myImage.Source;
