Setting an image.Source from a resource file.

Question

private void SetCredentials()
    {
        username = txtfromEmail.Text;
        password = txtpassword.Text;

        pictureLogin.Source = @"C:\Users\Sergio\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\emailwpf\emailwpf\ok.png";
    }

I get an error: "Cannot convert string to ImageSource".

What can I do?

Answer 1

set source to new BitmapImage(new Uri("C:\Users\Sergio\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\emailwpf\emailwpf\ok.png")) You can set in XAML to string value, because registered converter is used under the hood;

Answer 2

This has been asked in another question and has several different ways you can do this.
