First you will have to include the image in your project with BuildAction Resource

Then you can use it directly in your Image

 <Image Source="Img100.jpg"/>

Or make a reusable resource of the image

App.xaml (or other resource dictionary)

<Application.Resources>
    <BitmapImage x:Key="myImage" UriSource="Img100.jpg" />
</Application.Resources>

Element:

<Image Source="{StaticResource myImage}" />
