First, mark you image file as a "Resource" in the properties window of Visual Studio. Then you can quite easily reference the resource using the file name:

<Image x:Name="image1" Source="theimage.png" />

If you have put your image in a folder, you can use

<Image x:Name="image1" Source="/folder/theimage.png" />

Ok the image is a resource but when I try: I get the error: Value does not fall within the expected range – Bill Gates Mar 05 '10 at 11:03

You wanted to reference your image in XAML right?

like this

<Image Source="Resources\MyImage.png" />

and you dont need to add the image to the project resource. just add the images to your project via solution explorer
