Loading button image from file path string

[itslyn]

I'm trying to set the Image source for a button from a string that contains a file path located somewhere on my computer.

Here is my AXAML:

Here is my view model code:

The IconPath string is "file:///D:/Pictures/216.png"

Make IconImage a Bitmap type:

public Bitmap IconImage { get; set; }

then you can create a bitmap like:

IconImage = new Bitmap("D:/Pictures/216.png"); // (adjust the code to use IconPath)

Alternatively, you can keep it a string, but implement a IValueConverter that would convert that.

Thank you! Do you also know how I can get the button's image to have rounded corners? My button has CornerRadius="5" but the image inside still has sharp edges

You should clip it using a border. eg.

<Button CornerRadius="80">
  <Border CornerRadius="80" ClipToBounds="True">
    <Image Source="{Binding IconImage}" />
  </Border>
</Button>

Thank you! I had the border with the corner radius but didn't put the ClipToBounds
