Question

I am trying to set a image as a background of a button through XAML. I have a value converter that converts the icon path and returns a Bitmap Image

public static BitmapImage GetImage(String name)
{ 
      //return new BitmapImage from the location of the Path
}

I tried directly setting the Image object as a Content of the Button but that didnt work. Then I tried setting the Source Of the ImageBrush Tag in the Button.BackGround but that still doesnt work.

<Button  Margin="3" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0">
    <Button.Background>
        <ImageBrush ImageSource="{Binding Path=IconPath, Converter={StaticResource ImageSourceConverter}}" />
    </Button.Background>
</Button>

Its not specifically the problem with the Converter since the Same logic works to display the images in my treeview nodes. What am I doing wrong here?

If I unterstood you right, initially you would like to bind the content of the button to an icon:

<Button Grid.Column="1">
        <Button.Content>
            <Image Source="{Binding IconPath, PresentationTraceSources.TraceLevel=High}" />
        </Button.Content>
</Button>

Edit:
Added debug for DataBinding.
