Can't add image to WPF

I trying to add images to my WPF windows but I'm not able to.
What I tried to do is to add Source to the Image Xaml and the image does display on the designer, but when I run the program the image is not displayed
<Image HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="197" Margin="0,0,0,64"
VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="355" Source="pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Resources/Airplane1.jpg"
Grid.ColumnSpan="7"/>

Suppose that you put your image at Resources an it's build action Resource, just try to put :
<Image HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="197" Margin="0,0,0,64"
VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="355" Source="/Resources/Airplane1.jpg"
Grid.ColumnSpan="7"/>
Let me know if it won't work

Setting source to resource image inside project

I samples of FlowDocument in C# show images pointing to a location on disk in the xaml file. If I want to point source to image inside program as resource or how do i set the source setting then? I ship my program flowdocument as part of the program and I cant install images on disk. I want them as resource inside the program.
<InlineUIContainer >
<Image Margin="2,0" Width="50" Source="C:\sample.jpg" ></Image>
</InlineUIContainer>

You should set image's Build action to Resource and use following code:
<InlineUIContainer >
<Image Margin="2,0" Width="50" Source="pack://application:,,,/YourAssemblyName;Images/sample.jpg"></Image>
</InlineUIContainer>
sample.jpg must be in folder "Images" in your project in this example.

C# xaml image not showing up in application

When I try to display some smaller (72x72) images in my xaml file as a 20x20 image, they work fine, but when I try to use one that's 96x96, they just don't show up. Here is the code:
<Image Source="/Images.Toolbox;component/Images/defaultIcon.jpg" Height="20" Width="20" Stretch="None"/>
This is how it looks like with the 72x72, how I want it to look.
And this is how it looks when I try to use my 96x96 image.
The working one is a .ico, .png also works. The nonworking one is a .jpg, but this shouldn't matter should it?

Visual Studio > Solution Explorer
right-click on the image file > Properties
make sure the Build Action is set to Resource.

Image not displaying at runtime C# WPF

I have been trying to learn C# but I'm coming across a lot of problems. I am trying to display an image in WPF but for some reason, the image won't show! It appears on the Visual Studio editor but when I run the application it doesn't appear.
Here is some of my code:
This is how I'm trying to display the image:
<Image HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="100" Margin="273,147,0,0"
VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="100" Source="image.jpg"/>
I have also tried using this:
Source="pack://application:,,,/image.jpg"
Thanks for your help!

In your project:
Create a folder say "img", right click on it and select add existing item add image to folder
Go to properties of the added image, set Build Action as Resource.
It worked for me.
In XAML
<Image HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="MyImg" Height="80" Margin="273,147,0,0"
VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="100" Source="/img/Desert.jpg"/>

If none of these work, try changing the Build Action to Content.
That's what worked for me after struggling for a long time with this.

Go to the properties for the image in Visual Studio and change "Build Action" to "Resource" and "Copy to Output Directory" to "Copy if newer".
I had to do a rebuild, but then it worked. Cred to swapnil.

please drag the image to a image source,it will be like this /img/image.jpg"/
<Image HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="100" Margin="273,147,0,0"
VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="100" Source="/img/image.jpg"/>

If none of the above works, try Rebuilding your application from the build menu. Not "Build", but "Rebuild"

For example, this is your project structure
+ProjectName
+--+imagesFolder
| +--amogus.png
|
+--App.xaml
+--MainWindow.xaml
+--etc.
and you want to access the to amogus.png in your xaml window,
You have two ways:
note this way the imagesFolder will be visible in the release build to users
to set amogus.png Build Action to Content and
Copy to Output Directory to Copy always more info,
then rebuild from the build menu, then add this to the window xaml
<Image Source="pack://siteoforigin:,,/imagesFolder/amogus.png" ></Image>
note this way the imagesFolder will be not visible in the release build to users
to set amogus.png Build Action to Resource and
Copy to Output Directory to Do not copy or blank more info,
then rebuild from the build menu, then add this to the window xaml
<Image Source="/imagesFolder/amogus.png" ></Image>
more detail

Right click images on the Solution Explorer, choose Properties and then set the Build Action as Resource.

Did not have to do a clean and rebuild. I tried every combination listed above (I am in VS2017)
Go to Project->Properties->Resources
Select File (drop down with choices of strings, images, icons...)
Click Add Resource->Existing File
Navigate to the image and import it
VS identifies it as an image (mine is PNG) and switches the view to show Image resources
Select the thumbnail of the image and in the Properties of the Image (type should be Bitmap) set Persistence to Embedded in resx
I saved and closed Project Properties as I got confused here before
Go to the Resources folder under the project and select the image (it should be listed for you)
Select the image and set the BuildAction to Embedded Resource
I set the File Action to Copy if Newer
From here I move back and forth between Debug and runtime, various combinations of clean, build and publish and the image has FINALLY been displayed every time.
Last tidbit, the XAML in the dialog looks like this:
<Image Source="pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Resources/DeathSpiral.png" />
I have updated several projects that were supposed to display graphics but didn't always do so using the steps above. They all work now. Tested in both VS2017 and VS2019 and no errors so far.

Image Source does not locate image file in working directory

I'm new to WPF, facing a problem in locating an image file on a button.
It's not working when I put a relative path, as shown(Window1.xaml):
<Button Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,33,38,0" Name="button1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="24" Background="AliceBlue" OpacityMask="Cyan" Grid.Column="1" Click="button1_Click">
<Image Source="Folder-icon.png"></Image>
</Button>
However, it's working when i put an absolute path:
<Button Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,33,38,0" Name="button1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="24" Background="AliceBlue" OpacityMask="Cyan" Grid.Column="1" Click="button1_Click">
<Image Source="D:\Folder-icon.png"></Image>
</Button>
I try to describe my folder structure in picture.
Hope someone can guide me to load the image to the button within the same workspace using relative path.

If you compare the Image.Source values for both cases, you will see in the cast that it does work the underlying Uri looks like:
file:///D:/Folder-icon.png
In the case where it does not work, the Image.Source value is null. The problem is that without the full path, WPF assumes it is a relative path to an embedded resource, not a file on disk.
This link provides a detailed description of URIs. But you'd need to use something like the following to use relative paths.
pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Folder-icon.png
One other note, the default path will be in the <Your Project Path\bin\Debug folder, not the <Your Property Path> folder.

if is because you are not giving it correct path .Here is sample
/EmailScrapperWpf;component/Images/SearchDog.gif
it is like /projectname;then path where your image is placed
i think in your case it should be
<Image Source="/WPF1;Folder-icon.png"></Image>
when you Select image from the properties when you select the Image and press F4 there source navigate to the image then see what path is displayed after selecting the image and you have to place that path in Source=""
