I have a project which requires an image in the window. This is a static image and i added through ‘Add>Existing Item’. It exists in the root of the project.

I reference the image in a test page like so – 

<Page x:Class='Critter.Pages.Test'       xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation'       xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml'       Title='Test'>       <Image Source='bug.png'/> </Page>

Problem is I get a message saying it can’t be found or it’s build action isn’t resource but it DOES exist and it’s build action IS resource. If i create a new application and just throw it on a window then it works fine.

Any help would be great.

  1. Try doing a full rebuild, or delete the build files and then build the file.

    Visual Studio doesn’t always pick up changes to resources, and it can be a pain to get it recompile.

    Also try using a full URI as that helped me when I had the same problem. Something like
