C# xaml image not showing up in application

Question

When I try to display some smaller (72x72) images in my xaml file as a 20x20 image, they work fine, but when I try to use one that's 96x96, they just don't show up. Here is the code:

<Image Source="/Images.Toolbox;component/Images/defaultIcon.jpg" Height="20" Width="20" Stretch="None"/>

This is how it looks like with the 72x72, how I want it to look.

And this is how it looks when I try to use my 96x96 image.

The working one is a .ico, .png also works. The nonworking one is a .jpg, but this shouldn't matter should it?

Answer 1

• Visual Studio > Solution Explorer
• right-click on the image file > Properties
• make sure the Build Action is set to Resource.
