How would I access an Image file inside my soloution in C# WPF

Question

I am trying to set the background of a programmatically created Canvas, Using the following method:

Canvas Object = new Canvas();
Object.Background = new ImageBrush(new BitmapImage(new Uri("pages/Asset/Untitled 6.png", UriKind.Relative)));

This URI WOULD WORK In XAML, for setting a background image however in C# the scope seems to be in a different folder.

Maybe you forgot to write the following code in cs file:

 this.Content = Object;

And you can set the "Build Action" to "Content" and "Copy to Output Directory" to "Copy always" in the Properties of the picture.

You would typically use an image file as assembly resource, i.e. set its Build Action to Resource and not copy it to the output directory. – Clemens Mar 03 '21 at 06:36
