Specifying Location Of Images For Ribbon (Relative Path)

Anonymous — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 07:42:01 GMT

I'm trying to specify the image source for ribbon images using relative syntax but having no luck.

If I use this:

button.LargeImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"c:\\folderA\\folderB\\image.png") );

it works just fine. But it relies on absolute syntax, which is daft since it forces the code to be installed in a specific directory (or the images).

I've tried

button.LargeImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"images\\image.png", UriKind.Relative) );

and

button.LargeImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"images/image.png", UriKind.Relative) );

and I've tried placing the images subdirectory with the png file relative to the assembly, to the project source folder and even relative to AutoCAD itself - and in none of the cases do I get an image.

Can anyone shed any light on this for me? I'd like the images subfolder to be relative to the compiled assembly.

here a sample of my code for create my name of file containing the data of my prog :

Dim objAssemblyInfo As ApplicationServices.AssemblyInfo = My.Application.Info

My.Settings.GlobalFichierConfig = objAssemblyInfo.DirectoryPath & "\" & _
                                  objAssemblyInfo.Title + ".cfg"

with the objAssemblyInfo you retrieve info of your Dll.
