Answer 1

Assume I have a project with a folder named Assets and inside a have a png image with build action Resource or Embedded resource.

Then this works:

var versionWindow = new Window
                                {
                                    Height = 250,
                                    Width = 400,
                                    ResizeMode = ResizeMode.NoResize,
                                    Icon = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"pack://application:,,,/Assets/icon.png"))
                                };

        versionWindow.Show();
