Hi All.
In my WPF VB project I have Resources folder where I'm keeping Dictionary.XAML file and some images. How to specify BitmapImage in the Dictionary file to have ability call it in some places in the project? I tried like this:
<BitmapImage x:Key="IMG_Logo" UriSource="/Resources/Logo.png" />
And WPF window I try to call it by: 

<Image Source="{DynamicResource IMG_Logo}" Width="76" Height="40" Margin="10,10,0,10" />

But unfortunately it doesn't work and got an error:
"Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Resources\Logo.png."

How to fix the problem?

Thanks

    You need to create a Folder named Resources and add a Logo.png image in it. Then you need to edit the image's Properties, choose content for Build Action and Copy if newer for Copy to Output Directory, you can refer below picture for the details:

    Try to address the BitmapImage ressource in your XAML file as StaticRessource: 

    <Image Source="{StaticResource IMG_Logo}" Width="76" Height="40" Margin="10,10,0,10" />
