How to get image from a folder path in wpf

Question

I'm trying to understand how to make a get a file from my project I'm using visual studio 2010, and I have a folder in my wpf project that is called: Images

How can I get an image from that folder, I'am trying:

return @"/Images/"+ name+".jpg";

the folder it self is in : C:\Users\Boaz-Pc\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\FinalSadna\FinalSadna\Images

But it doesnt work for me. Any ideas?

Solution 1

you can look at something like this

string imageName = name + ".jpg";
var path = Path.Combine(GetApplicationFolder(), "/Images/" + imageName);

if you want to find it via the Assembly you could use the following as well

var path = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);

Solution 2

what about

var uriSource = new Uri(@"/FinalSadna;component/imagename.png", UriKind.Relative);

Solution 3

I think your problem is that the relative path, at least from the code we can see, is relative to the output exe file. I doubt this folder is bin>debug or bin>release. So you would need to go back a certain number of directories (hopes). This article explains relative paths very well.

EDIT:

Unless you have custom compiling option enabled, then you are incorrectly referencing the relative path. Have a look the above link, please.

Hope this helps you!
