How to add an image to your project
Why this approach?
There are many ways to add images to a project.
The thing I provide you below, is just the way, I do it and it works pretty fine ♥️
Step-by-step
- Create a folder named
Imagesinside theThemesdirectory. - Copy the image you want to use into the newly created folder.
- Right-click the image file and set:
- Build Action →
Resource
- Build Action →
- Reference the image in XAML using a pack URI:
xml
<Image
Source="pack://application:,,,/LoginRegisterLibrary;component/Themes/Images/example.png" />Rotating an image in WPF
To rotate an image in WPF, you use a RenderTransform with a RotateTransform.
This allows the image to rotate dynamically without affecting layout.
xml
<!--Little example, rotate 45° -->
<Image Source="needle.png">
<Image.RenderTransform>
<RotateTransform Angle="45" />
</Image.RenderTransform>
</Image>
