Load Image from Xaml

Question

HI all!

I am wondering that could I load a image from xaml file? I mean that, for example: I have a folder IMAGES that contains all of my images.These images were not added to my project.At an xaml file I try to load an image.like bellow code:

<Image Source="/IMAGES/gift.png" Height="70" Width="70" VerticalAlignment="Top" />

Could I do that? or I have to load this in behind code?

thanks in advanced

You can use Pack URIs with siteoforigin authority like this:

<Image Source="pack://siteoforigin:,,,/IMAGES/gift.png" 
       Height="70" Width="70" VerticalAlignment="Top" />
