How is the best way to use .svg images in WPF

Question

Hi I tried to use .svg files in Visual Studio with c# and WPF - but an error occurs ...

<Image Source="H:!LKOle2024Desktop!Misc\saanh.svg"/>

This file format is not supported in blend. What is the best way to use .svg files in WPF?

Hey there! VFarkas Thats a great question and thanks for posting it on QandA platform I guess the WPF doesn't support SVG files out of the box, but you can use a handy library called "SvgImageSource" to make it happen. First things first, you'll need to install the "SvgImageSource" package via NuGet.

xmlns:svg="clr-namespace:SvgImageSource;assembly=SvgImageSource"

Then, in your XAML code, you can simply use the "SvgImage" control

<svg:SvgImage x:Name="svgImage" Source="YourSvgFile.svg"/>

And that's it! If this helps kindly accept the answer thanks much.
