I am trying to display an image on a WPF page. The code is shown below:
<Grid>
<TextBlock Margin="32,332,395,74" Cursor="None">
Click to <Hyperlink NavigateUri="TestWindow.xaml">sign a document</Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>
<Image HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="151" Margin="32,96,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="179"
Source="signature.png" Visibility="Visible" Name="signImage"/>
The problem is the image shows in WPF designer but when I run the program, the image does not display on the page.
Note the image is displayed on a PAGE not a WINDOW

Frustrated with this myself, I just figured out the the page uses a relative location for the image. In my case, the image was in the folder "Graphics/logo.jpg", and the page was in the folder "View/Setting/About". I updated the Source of the image to ../../Graphics/logo.jpg
and it worked.

Another option is to use a resource, e.g. in your app.xaml:
<Application.Resources>
<BitmapImage x:Key="signatureSrc" UriSource="/MyProject;component/ImageFolderIfThereIsOne/signature.png" />
</Application.Resources>
and use it like this
<Image Height="100" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="100" Source="{StaticResource signatureSrc}" />

Try this out PackURIs
Image finalImage = new Image();
finalImage.Width = 80;
...
BitmapImage logo = new BitmapImage();
logo.BeginInit();
logo.UriSource = new Uri("pack://application:,,,/AssemblyName;component/Resources/logo.png");
logo.EndInit();
...
finalImage.Source = logo;
The URI is broken out into parts:
application:///
Path: The name of a resource file that is compiled into a referenced assembly. The path must conform to the following format: AssemblyShortName[;Version][;PublicKey];component/Path
The three slashes after application: have to be replaced with commas:
Note: The authority component of a pack URI is an embedded URI that points to a package and must conform to RFC 2396. Additionally, the "/" character must be replaced with the "," character, and reserved characters such as "%" and "?" must be escaped. See the OPC for details.
And of course, make sure you set the build action on your image to Resource.
