Answer 1

An Image is not a Control, it is only derived from FrameworkElement and thus has no Template property. It has a Style, though, so you can use it to set its properties, like Cursor, HorizontalAlignment, etc.

Answer 2

This workaround might help:

Since the Image has no border, place it inside a Border control.

<Border Name="imgBorder" BorderThickness="2" BorderBrush="Transparent">
        <Image Name="img"></Image>
</Border>

Then create logic code against the properties of that Border.

imgBorder.BorderBrush = Brushes.Green;
