How to build a stand alone exe with resources?

I have a WPF app with image resources. When I build the program, there is a directory named "resources" in the bin folder containing my images. If I run the program without the folder, it crashes. How can I embed the resources in the app so it can run stand alone?

You have to set the build action of the image files to Resource, like shows here. The Uri for an image file named Image.png would then be this:

pack://application:,,,/Resources/Image.png

See also the MSDN page Pack URIs in WPF.
