Image not displaying in C# WPF

In your project:

1. Create a folder say "img", right click on it and select add existing item add image to folder
2. Go to properties of the added image, set Build Action as Resource and Copy To Output Directory as Copy if newer.

It worked for me.

In XAML

<Image HorizontalAlignment="Left"  Name="MyImg" Height="80" Margin="273,147,0,0" 
    VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="100" Source="/img/Desert.jpg"/>

Go to the properties for the image in Visual Studio and change "Build Action" to "Resource" and "Copy to Output Directory" to "Copy if newer".

I had to do a rebuild, but then it worked. Cred to swapnil.
