How do I refer to root project directory in WPF XAML when setting paths to other files?

Question

I'm having issues referring to image files and other XAML files when the files are in a higher level directory then the XAML file from which I am referring to them from. Is there a way to refer to the root of the project directory?

For example I have the following files & directories:

1. Project Root Folder: \root
2. Icon in root folder: \root\AppIcon.ico
3. Subdirectory: \root\subdirectory
4. Xaml file 'window.xaml' in subdirectory: \root\subdirectory\window.xaml

How do I refer to \root\AppIcon.ico in the xaml of \root\subdirectory\window.xaml? If I want to set the icon of window window.xaml i should put what here: icon="what do I put here"?

Thanks

try ..\appicon.ico to come up by one level. add as many as u need depending on the folder nesting
