Image wont show in WPF

I am new to C# and WPF and was trying to make a very basic program that show a picture. So in the XAML file I put in this code:

<Image HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="100" Margin="184,143,0,0" 
       VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="100" Source="image.jpg"/>

It shows up in the editor (Visual Studio) but when I run the program is appears to be gone! Here is the entire code:

<Window x:Class="Follow.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Grid>
        <Image HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="100" Margin="184,143,0,0" 
               VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="100" Source="bp.jpg"/>
    </Grid>
</Window>

Thanks for your help, I've been looking but can't seem to find the answer!

Try this 

Source="pack://application:,,,/bp.jpg"

If your image in some folder then use:

Source="pack://application:,,,/FolderName/bp.jpg"

If the image is in your resources folder and its buid action is set to Resource. You can reference the image in XAML as follows:

Source="pack://application:,,,/Resources/bp.png"

In Visual Studio, under the resources where your image is stored, make sure the build action is set to resource. Here is a similar question with a more detailed answer.
