Including Binary Resources in Silverlight

Resources (Image) can be added in three different ways:

 

In the Application Assembly (DLL)	·         Build Action – Content ·         Copy to Output Directory – Do not Copy	See Code 1 & 2.
In the Application Package (XAP)	·         Build Action – Resource ·         Copy to Output Directory – Do not Copy	See Code 3.
In the Silverlight Test Web Site Project	·         Must be placed in ClientBin Folder	See Code 4
In Separate SL Class Library Assemblies	·         Build Action – Resource ·         Copy to Output Directory – Do not Copy	See Code 5

 

 

Code
1	<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">             <Image x:Name="img" Source="Image_Resource.jpg"></Image> </Grid>
2	<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">             <Image x:Name="img"></Image> </Grid>   public Constructor() {             InitializeComponent();             StreamResourceInfo sri = Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri("Resources;component/Image_Resource.jpg",                                                 UriKind.Relative));                         BitmapImage bitmap = new BitmapImage();             bitmap.SetSource(sri.Stream);             img.Source = bitmap;                 }
3	<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">             <Image x:Name="img" Source="/Image_Content.jpg"></Image> </Grid>
4	<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">             <Image x:Name="img" Source="/Image_Webfile.jpg"></Image> </Grid>
5	<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">             <Image Source="/ResourceClassLibrary;component/happyface.jpg"></Image> </Grid>

 

Hope this helps.
