C# - Access image stream inside xap in Silverlight

I have a silverlight 5 project called Kinemat.AuthoringTool. Inside this project i have a folder called Backgrounds and there i have some images (their Build Action is Content). I want to access an image's stream and then upload that image on a server. After some research on msdn i use the following code:

StreamResourceInfo streamResourceInfo = 
                      Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri("PathToPutHere"));
Stream imageStream = streamResourceInfo.Stream;

of course using the path "/Backgrounds/imageName" does not work. What is the correct path then?

Instead, make the images with the build property of Embeded and path to it via namespace and name in the containing dll. I have created such an image extractor for a stream (Can be used outside of Silverlight)

public static Stream GetImage(string resourceName)
{
    var assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();

    var stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName);

    if (stream == null)
        throw new ArgumentException(
             $"No resource with name {resourceName} in {assembly.FullName}");

    return stream;
}
