Pack Strings in WPF User Control Library

I had created a User Control in my main Project Originally. I have now created a new Project that uses the WPF User Control Library Template and moved my control there.

The issue I am having, is my control uses images as the content for buttons. I have moved the images along with the controls into the new project, but I cannot get the Pack URIs to work. The Control and the images both reside in the same folder of the project called MyControl an the new Project name is MyControls.

I have tried:

<Button Name="Button1" ToolTip="Button1" Click="Button1Action">
    <Image Source="pack://application:,,,/MyControl/image1.png" />
</Button>

and 

<Button Name="Button1" ToolTip="Button1" Click="Button1Action">
    <Image Source="pack://application:,,,MyControls;/MyControl/image1.png" />
</Button>

I also tried adding the images to the Resources.resx file, then in the Code Behind converting that to a BitmapSource, creating an Image control, setting its source to the BitmapSource, and then setting the Button.Content to the Image. I assume that since the png has a transparent background, it was messed up in the process, it was displayed with a black background using this method.

The Build Action for the Image in the project is set to Resource, so I assume I am just missing the correct Pack string.

Your second pack uri was close, but you missed one word (and a slash)! It should be

<Image Source="pack://application:,,,/MyControls;component/MyControl/image1.png" />
