Answer 1

You need to use a Trigger on the IsMouseOver property to modify the Source of the Image:

<Image>
  <Image.Style>
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type Image}">
      <Setter Property="Source" Value="C:\Image1.jpg"/>
      <Style.Triggers>
        <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
          <Setter Property="Source" Value="C:\Image2.jpg"/>
        </Trigger>
      </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
  </Image.Style>
</Image>

Note that Triggers can only be used inside Styles, and in order for a Trigger to change a property that property's value must be set by the Style and not set explicitly on the element.

Hi,

<Image Stretch="Fill" >
    <Image.Style>
        <Style>
            <Setter Property="Image.Source" Value="original.png" />
            <Style.Triggers>
                <Trigger  Property="Image.IsMouseOver" Value="True">
                    <Setter Property="Image.Source" Value="mouseover.png" />
                </Trigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
        </Style>
    </Image.Style>
</Image>

There are other ways that trigger. All right?
