WPF Desktop App Get Path to Image at Run Time

.Net 4.5 WPF desktop application, goal is to add an existing image to a pdfSharp doc. First step is getting the path to the image. My image is in an Images folder under my project. I've tried:

String myPath = string.Empty;
myPath = System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
myPath = myPath + "\\Images\\MyImage.png";

myPath ends up being: 
C:\\Users\\My User Name\\Documents\\LocalProjects\\MyProject\\MyProject\\bin\\Debug\\Images\\MyImage.png

Then I check using File.Exists in an If statement. It fails.

Thanks!

Make sure that the Build Action of the image file in your project is set to Content, and set Copy to Output Directory to a value other than Do not copy.

Otherwise the image file (including its relative path) won't be copied to the output directory bin\Debug\.
