You can also add the image as a resource, ie Add Existing item and change the image's Build Action property to Resource

then reference it this way

BitmapImage bitImg = new BitmapImage();
bitImg.BeginInit();
bitImg.UriSource = new Uri("./Resource/Images/Bar1.png", UriKind.Relative);
bitImg.EndInit();

((Image)sender).Source = bitImg;

This way you dont need to include the image with the program, its bundled into the package as a resource
