How to load an icon from file in WPF ?

Question

Hello,

I have XAML file and a menuitem in it (in a classic menu):

 <MenuItem Name="xml_menuItem_001" Header="_Manage users" />

I would like to load an icon for this menuitem from a file which is placed to:

c:\1\WPF10\media-floppy-5.png

using code-behind. If it possible ?
I am trying this code, but without any success:

            this.xml_menuItem_001.Icon = BitmapFrame.Create(
                                           Application.GetResourceStream(
                                             new Uri(@"c:\1\WPF10\media-floppy-5.png")).Stream);

Is there a suitable way to load the icon from file at running time using code behind ? :)

PS: I really like Microsoft, suitable manual is everywhere and it is not necessary for a men to beg for an advice on public forums :) :) :) :) ha ha ha
I am permanently happy ...

Answer 1

Try something like this:

this.xml_menuItem_001.Icon = new Image { Source =  new BitmapImage( new Uri( @"c:\1\WPF10\media-floppy-5.png" ) ) };

Answer 2

In one place of my app I've done it this way:

var image = new Image() {
    Margin = new Thickness(0, 10, 0, 0),
    HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center,
    VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top,
    Width = 96,
    Height = 96,
};
using (var stream = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("RentManager.Resources.LoadingIcon.png")){
    image.Source = BitmapFrame.Create(stream, BitmapCreateOptions.None, BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad);
}

and it works.
