This should be simple, but...
I created a folder in my solution called Images. I dragged an image into it. How do I now display this image on a Page or View?

There are a couple of ways to get at it--here's the way that involves setting the image as a Resource
in the Visual Studio file properties:
using (var stream = Application.GetResourceStream(
new Uri("SilverlightAssemblyName;component/Images/myImage.png",
UriKind.Relative)))
{
// read from stream
}
Where SilverlightAssemblyName
is replaced by the Assembly Name you specified in the Silverlight tab of your Silverlight project.
If you want to use the image in code:
var bitmap = new BitmapImage();
bitmap.SetSource(stream);
myImageControl.ImageSource = bitmap;
Or, if you want to use the resource in XAML, you don't need any of the code:
<Image Source="/Images/myImage.png" Width="16" Height="16" />
Make sure the image is set as a Resource. It can be in any folder in any of your projects in your solution.
You can then reference this as [assembly];component/[path]/[imagename.extension]
For example:
<Image Source="/mynamespace.myassembly;component/ResourcesFolder/image.png" Width="16" Height="16" />
