I have two .png
files added to my resources which I need to access their Uri when doing binding.
My xaml
code is as followed:
<Grid>
<Image>
<Image.Source>
<BitmapImage DecodePixelWidth="10" UriSource="{Binding Path=ImagePath}"/>
</Image.Source>
</Image>
</Grid>
and the binding
code using ImagePath is:
ImagePath = resultInBinary.StartsWith("1") ? Properties.Resources.LedGreen : Properties.Resources.ledRed;
However
Properties.Resources.LedGreen
returns a Bitmap
instead of String
containing the Uri of that particular image.
I just want to know how to extract that value without a need to address a path of the image in the directory that it's stored. (Which honestly I am not sure is a right thing to do as I couldn't find any similar situation on the net).
Please let me know if there is even a preferred method to the one I am trying to use if available.
Occasionally however, you will need to get the actual URI of a resource. All you need to do is replace the package name with your app's package name, as defined in the manifest, and the resource ID of the resource you would like to use. Uri resourceURI = Uri. parse("android.
In Visual Studio, open a SharePoint solution. In Solution Explorer, choose a SharePoint project node, and then, on the menu bar, choose Project > Add New Item. In the Add New Item dialog box, choose the Global Resources File template, and then choose the Add button.
In a WPF application you would usually not store images in Properties/Resources.resx
and access them by means of the Properties.Resources
class.
Instead you just add the image files to your Visual Studio project as regular files, perhaps in a folder named "Images" or the like. Then you would set their Build Action
to Resource
, which is done in the Properties window. You get there e.g. by right-clicking the image file and select the Properties
menu item. Note that the default value of the Build Action
should be Resource
for image files anyways.
In order to access these image resources from code you would then use a Pack URI. With the above folder name "Images" and an image file named "LedGreen.png", creating such an URI would look like this:
var uri = new Uri("pack://application:,,,/Images/LedGreen.png");
So you could perhaps declare your property to be of type Uri:
public Uri ImageUri { get; set; } // omitted INotifyPropertyChanged implementation
and set it like this:
ImageUri = resultInBinary.StartsWith("1")
? new Uri("pack://application:,,,/Images/LedGreen.png")
: new Uri("pack://application:,,,/Images/LedRed.png");
Finally your XAML should look like shown below, which relies on built-in type conversion from Uri to ImageSource:
<Grid>
<Image Width="10" Source="{Binding Path=ImageUri}" />
</Grid>
