Here is what I have so far:
<Image Source="{Binding ImageSource"} />
<Button Content"Text" ImageSource="path/image.png" />
I know something isn't right here. I guess I can't see where ImageSource is defined.
I have several of these buttons and just want to have a unique image for each one. I have a button template that I am using and it works great for the text.
<Label Content="TemplateBinding Content" />
Thanks for all your help!
In your case, it can be very easy!
Add the images as resources to your project, then in XAML
use something like the following:
<Button HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="20,0,0,20" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="50" Height="25">
<Image Source="image.png" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0">
</Image>
</Button>
Or, the more complicated way:
If you use the MVVM Pattern, you can do the following
In your XAML:
<Button Focusable="False" Command="{Binding CmdClick}" Margin="0">
<Image Source="{Binding ButtonImage}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0">
</Image>
</Button>
In your ViewModel:
private Image buttonImage;
public Image ButtonImage
{
get
{
return buttonImage;
}
}
And somewhere in the constructor of your ViewModel or the initialisation of it:
BitmapImage src = new BitmapImage();
src.BeginInit();
src.UriSource = new Uri("image.png", UriKind.Relative);
src.CacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad;
src.EndInit();
buttonImage = new Image();
buttonImage.Source = src;
In your XAML:
<Button Focusable="False" Command="{Binding CmdClick}" Margin="0">
<Image Source="{Binding ImageSource,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged} HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0">
</Image>
</Button>
In your ViewModel:
private BitmapImage _ImageSource;
public BitmapImage ImageSource
{
get { return this._ImageSource; }
set { this._ImageSource = value; this.OnPropertyChanged("ImageSource"); }
}
private void OnPropertyChanged(string v)
{
// throw new NotImplementedException();
if (PropertyChanged != null)
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(v));
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
And somewhere in the constructor of your ViewModel or the initialisation of it:
string str = System.Environment.CurrentDirectory;
string imagePath = str + "\\Images\\something.png";
this.ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri(imagePath, UriKind.Absolute));
OR:
string imagePath = "\\Images\\something.png";
this.ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri(imagePath, UriKind.Relative));
