WPF Images not rendering during runtime

Question

I have a set of images that load from my solutions resource file, now they show up fine in design mode and in Blend but they won't show up at all when I actually run the program.

Here is the markup of the controls

<WrapPanel x:Name="heartsWrapPanel" Height="25.97" Canvas.Left="437.94" Canvas.Top="594.83" Width="75.26">
    <Image x:Name="heart1" Height="22.388" Width="24.777" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Source="pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Resources/heart.png"/>
    <Image x:Name="heart2" Height="22.388" Width="24.777" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Source="pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Resources/heart.png"/>
    <Image x:Name="heart3" Height="22.388" Width="24.777" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Source="pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Resources/heart.png"/>
</WrapPanel>

Now I can't figure out what's wrong, there's nothing wrong with the wrap panel as I've tried to put in other elements in it and they show up fine, and like I said the images show up in design mode and in Blend but it won't show up during runtime.

If you start in the debugger (F5), do you see any messages in the output window within visual studio? — Tormod, Nov 14 '14 at 21:30
@Mate Turns out I had to do that and change to `Source=Resources/heart.png"` — Overly Excessive, Nov 14 '14 at 21:49
@OverlyExcessive Great! I've added as a solution, you can accept it or close the question. — Mate, Nov 14 '14 at 22:27

you have to set the "Build Action" to "Resource" for Images and maybe change to Source=Resources/XXX.png"
