How to set up the image source path properly in XAML

i'm trying to put a close button image on my newly created tabs for my app, but i just can't seem to get the right path. This is how i've tried inputting it (code is from MainWindow.xaml):

<TabControl Margin="10,26,10,10" ItemsSource="{Binding FileTabs}">
            <TabControl.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding FileTabName}" />
                        <Button Name="closeTabBtn">
                            <Image Width="20" Height="20" Source="/Images/button-close.jpg" />
                        </Button>
                    </StackPanel>
                </DataTemplate>
            </TabControl.ItemTemplate>

This is my project structure:

What is the correct path for the image source property since i'm kind of new at this ?

You should set the Build Action of the image file to Resource in Visual Studio and try with a pack URI if your relative path still doesn't work:

Source="pack://application:,,,/Images/button-close.png"
