MainWindow.xaml

<dx:ThemedWindow ...
    xmlns:dx="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/core">
    <Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="30px"/>
            <RowDefinition Height="32px"/>
            <RowDefinition Height="32px"/>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <Button Content="Display Image" Click="Button_Click" Width="150" Grid.Row="0"/>
        <Image x:Name="pngImage" Height="32px" Grid.Row="1"/>
        <Image x:Name="pngImageUri" Height="32px" Grid.Row="2"/>
    </Grid>
</dx:ThemedWindow>

MainWindow.xaml.cs

using DevExpress.Xpf.Core;
// ...
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
    pngimage.Source = DXImageHelper.GetImageSource(@"Images/Actions/Close_32x32.png");
    pngimage_uri.Source = new BitmapImage(DXImageHelper.GetImageUri(@"Images/Actions/Close_32x32.png"));
}

MainWindow.xaml.vb

Imports DevExpress.Xpf.Core
'...
Private Sub Button_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
    pngimage.Source = DXImageHelper.GetImageSource("Images/Actions/Close_32x32.png")
    pngimage_uri.Source = New BitmapImage(DXImageHelper.GetImageUri("Images/Actions/Close_32x32.png"))
End Sub

Display Vector Images

The following code sample uses the DXImageHelper.GetImageUri method to obtain a vector image from the DevExpress.Images.v21.2 assembly:

MainWindow.xaml

<dx:ThemedWindow ...
    xmlns:dx="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/core">
    <Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="30px"/>
            <RowDefinition Height="32px"/>
            <RowDefinition Height="32px"/>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <Button Content="Display SVG Image" Click="Button_Click" Width="150" Grid.Row="0"/>
        <Image x:Name="svgImage" Height="32px" Grid.Row="1"/>
    </Grid>
</dx:ThemedWindow>

MainWindow.xaml.cs

using DevExpress.Xpf.Core;
// ...
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
    svgimage.Source = WpfSvgRenderer.CreateImageSource(DXImageHelper.GetImageUri(@"SvgImages/Reports/RepeatColumnHeadersOnEveryPage.svg"));
}

MainWindow.xaml.vb

Imports DevExpress.Xpf.Core
'...
Private Sub Button_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
    svgimage.Source = WpfSvgRenderer.CreateImageSource(DXImageHelper.GetImageUri("SvgImages/Reports/RepeatColumnHeadersOnEveryPage.svg"))
End Sub
