Issue with path when trying to reference project media folder

I am trying to reference images stored in a project folder

File path is SolutionName/ProjectName/Media/someImage.png

Properties of the images in the folder are Properties

If I hardcode a test it works like: 

var imageName = "C:/Test/TestImage/file.png";

But if I try something like:

var imageName = @"/ProjectName;component/Media/someImage.png"

it does not work! How can I reference the folder in the project in C# WPF application VS2012? Thanks!

if you have image folder like this:

ProjectName/bin/Images/yourImage.jpg

then you can use image like this:

picture.ImageLocation = @"Images\yourImage.jpg";

and check this

or you can make easier by using :

Properties.Resources.ImageName

if you imported image into resources folder inside you project

From the MSDN on Pack Uri's, when you are trying to reference a resource in code, you either need to fully qualify the Uri:

var imageName = new Uri("application://,,,/ProjectName;component/Media/someImage.png");

or you need to specify a relative Uri:

var imageName = new Uri("/ProjectName;component/Media/someImage.png", UriKind.Relative);
