WPF - Image Source - not within expected range
In my XAML and on creation, I get the following exception:
Error 3 The value "colorpick.png" cannot be assigned to the "Source" property. The value is not in the expected range.
Here's the XAML:
"Source =" colorpick.png "is underlined.
One of the few things I could find about this is the below blog post: http://nickeandersson.blogs.com/blog/2008/06/wpf-image-and-v.html
colorpick.png is set to Build action = resource.
Any hints would be greatly appreciated!
Here's all the xaml:
<UserControl x:Class="MyApp.Controls.ColorSettings"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

<ScrollViewer>
<ListView Name="lvColors" MinHeight="100" MinWidth="300" SelectionChanged="lvColors_SelectionChanged">

</ListView.ItemContainerStyleSelector>
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn Header="Level" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Level}"></GridViewColumn>

a source to share
Try changing it to
<Image Source="/AssemblyName;component/colorpick.png" ...
where AssemblyName is the name of your assembly (component is a literal).
Suppose colorpick.png is in the root of your project if it (for example) uses a folder with images /AssemblyName;component/images/colorpick.png
