How to use Resources.resx to link images

Here is a trick to access image in Resource file:

Accessing image from Resource File in XAML markup

First you need to add reference to project properties like this:

xmlns:properties="clr-namespace:MyProject.Properties"

And then access it via XAML like this:

<image source="{Binding Source={x:Static properties:Resources.ImageName}}" />

You can use PNG/JPG/BMP as well as ICO file but everyone recommend PNG.
