Could not find a part of path when using ImageBrush

I get that error if i try to run my "application". In fact that's an empty window with background.

<Window x:Class="NWN_Tsuki.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="MainWindow" Height="831" Width="875">
<Window.Background>
    <ImageBrush Stretch="None" ImageSource="pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Resources/Book.png" />
</Window.Background>
<Grid/>
</Window>

That's all my app. And i get error. If i set absolute path to image - all working fine.

I tried to google, i searched same topics here and tried to do what worked for others - there are no progress. Just one window. Just one background image in resourses added through wizard.

Visual Studio 2013, Windows 7 Ultimate x64

I have experienced this. It turned out, the .png was corrupted. When I navigated to the folder in File Explorer, I saw the following

I think the mkelem is something to do with our source control, so maybe it was that which corrupted it, regardless, this is why some people may get this error message.

I haven't tried adding an image thru a wizard, what I do is create a "Resources" folder in my project. Then I add the image in said folder. Set the property of the image to Copy Always or Copy If New. Then do:

<ImageBrush Stretch="None" ImageSource="../Resources/Book.png" />

If anything, Book.png is just not getting copied.

EDIT: IMPORTANT Also make sure to change the Book.png's Build Action to Resource

First of all, I think you can just write ImageSource="Resources/Book.png" and it will work.

Second, if you want with "pack://", you suppose to write it ImageSource="pack://application:,,,/Resources/Book.png"

Yet another way - ImageSource="ProjectName;component/Resources/Book.png" where ProjectName is the name of the project where you keep you picture. You can even concatenate all this if you need ImageSource="pack://application:,,,/ProjectName;component/Resources/Book.png"
