Path to Custom Resource Folder

I created a new Folder in my Class-Library Project, calles "Resources". There i added an icon with the name "icon.png".
The properties of the icon are:
Build Action: Embedded Resource
Copy to Outpur Directory: Copy always

Now i want to use the icon in my Library and in the project, which has a reference to the .dll of the Library.

I already tried to get it with the BaseUri + "Resource/icon.png", but the complete Resource-Folder isn´t copied, when I build the Class-Library.

So how can I setup my Class-Library, that I can get the Icon/Resource-Folder in my Library and in projects, that reference to the .dll.

You can set the image as Content and Do not copy or Embedded Resource and Copy always and read it in XAML:

  <Image Source="ms-appx:///ClassLibraryNamespace/Resources/icon.jpg"/>

where ClassLibraryNamespace is your library name.

In code behind is the same with a 

Source = new Uri("ms-appx:///ClassLibraryNamespace/Resources/icon.jpg");

Remember that are 3 slashes in the application path.
