'Provide value on 'System.Windows.Baml2006.TypeConverterMarkupExtension' threw an exception.' Line number '49' and line position '38'

Question

I am making my first wpf application which now just implements a "floor" with a texture, viewed from above. when running I get this exception:

Provide value on System.Windows.Baml2006.TypeConverterMarkupExtension' threw an exception.' Line number '49' and line position '38'

The line they talk about is

<ImageBrush ImageSource="/wood1_1000X1000.jpg" />.

I also tried with a png extension. The image has a resolution of 1000 x 1000.

Answer 1

Assuming the image is:

• Included in your project
• It's in a folder named "Images"
• The build action for the image is set to "Resource" (should be the default)

You can reference it like this:

<ImageBrush ImageSource=
   "pack://application:,,,/YourProjectName;component/Images/wood1_1000X1000.jpg";
