First you must add your Image into a Resource File in the Solution Explorer. Next you must set the Build Action of your Image to Resource and then you can use it in the XAML Code like this:

<UserControl>
<UserControl.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary>
        <BitmapImage x:Key="name" UriSource="Resources/yourimage.bmp" />
    </ResourceDictionary>
</UserControl.Resources>
<Grid>
    <Image  Source="{StaticResource name}"/>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
