Answer 1

ok, so i know this is a little old , but I think I have the easiest one yet I was searching for the same problem and found out this to work really great actually

make a grid and grid columns and add two pictures to it, then assign both to the same column, so that they are over each other , don't assign z indexes or anything just add the default image first and then a binding to the images that need to be loaded from the database, that's it done ,now if the image is null the binding source will be transparent and the default image behind will be visible ,

this is the easiest method if you don't know a lot and less code

note : better to add a smaller and png image , but works fine with either of those

xaml code

            

                    

                
                           x
                          / \ 
                           |__ (BINDING IMAGE SOURCE WITH NAME)


            

C# code

mimg.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(dr.GetString("Photo_path")));
