Common image questions in regards to developing WP7 applications which are all related to the same issue of Build Action.

  • Why won't my images show in my WP7 app?
  • Why aren't the Application Icon buttons showing in my WP7 app?
  • Why aren't the images showing up in my CONTROL-NAME control?
  • Which path do I use to show my images, in examples I see two different ways?
  • What is the difference between Content and Resource in Build Action property?
  • What is "Build Action"?

Side Note I've been seeing these questions (or question) over, and over again. When you start seeing it every 4 or 5 questions, I think there's something wrong. Perhaps someone could turn this into a Community Wiki so we can keep future WP7 questions relevant and more unique?

Thanks.

  • Just pick one of those questions and provide it with an extensive answer. That might to turn it into Wiki. – Emond Feb 07 '12 at 17:48
  • I'm pretty sure this would come up if they start asking the question. It's just the way they phrase them previously makes it sound like its some kind of rare circumstance why their images don't show when its all the same. – Edward Feb 07 '12 at 18:03
