How to load embebbed resource image in WPF?

Hi,
from this post I was able to load the image with the absolute imagepath, but is this works on the client machine?

I found this answer quite similar to the way I do it on winform but I am having difficulty getting this Properties from code (WindowsFormsApplication1.Properties.Resources).

How to declare or access this Properties?

Thanks !

There are articles like Accessing an Embedded Resource Using a Uri
(with pack://application)

To embed an image as a resource, add it to your project and set its Build Action to Resource. You can access this image at run-time using a Uri. The URI for a simple resource just includes the path to the image.

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        BitmapImage bmi = new BitmapImage(new Uri("pack://application:,,,/Images/Ted.jpg"));

        MessageBox.Show(string.Format("Image is {0}x{1} pixels", bmi.Width, bmi.Height));
    }
    catch (Exception xx)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(xx.ToString());
    }
}
