Setting URI to root directory in application for image source

How do you set the URI for an image source to the root directory (i.e. same folder as your exe) in a WPF application?

var myImage = new Image();
myImage.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("pack://application:,,,/AssemblyName;component/speedline.png", UriKind.Absolute));

I've tried the above and keep getting the following error message:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in mscorlib.dll. Additional information: Could not load file or assembly 'AssemblyName, Culture=neutral' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I am obviously doing something very wrong, but can guarantee that the png file can be found at C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\Speedy\Speedy\bin\Debug, in the same folder as my exe file, but how do I reference it?

Create a new folder under the solution explorer called component and add the existing image under that. Now try using the Relative path.

myImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri("/component/speedline.png", UriKind.Relative));
