I have a WinRT application and a .NET application which want to share images.

  • 0

I have a WinRT application and a .NET application which want to share images. I have been using portable class library and want to share as much code as possible. I also want to have only one copy of all images and use the ‘Add Link’ feature to add images.

My WinRT app uses a build action of ‘Content’ and I refer to my images using a relative path like so:
/Assets/Flags/Australia.png

I have added the images to my .NET application using add link and used the same ‘Content’ build action but I can’t get this working. It only seems to work when I use a build action of ‘Resource’ and use a full path like so:
/MyProject;component/Assets/Flags/Australia.png

I have a model in my portable class libary project which contains a property returning the path to the flag image. Both applications should share this property. How can I achieve this and what build action do I use.

    It turns out sharing is not possible. I ended up using seperate properties for the path to my images in WinRT and WPF.
