Ribbon panel button image not displaying

[sensiblehira]

Hi I am trying to create my first ribbon button here. Every thing works fine but I cannot get my ribbon image to show as seen in the image

please guide me with what could I be doing wrong.

Can you show your code, where you set the image? What image format are you using?

[sensiblehira]

public Result OnStartup(UIControlledApplication application)
        {
            RibbonPanel panel = RibbonPanel(application);
            string thisAssemblyPath = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;
            if(panel.AddItem(new PushButtonData("Room Properties","Room Properties",thisAssemblyPath,"Room_Properties.Command1")) is PushButton button)
            {
                button.ToolTip="Set Unit Targets";
                Uri uri = new Uri(Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(thisAssemblyPath), "Resources", "SetUnitTargets.ico"));
                BitmapImage bitmap = new BitmapImage(uri);
                button.LargeImage = bitmap;
           
            }
            return Result.Succeeded;
        }

I think I cannot get the image files to get copied to AddIn folder

[corinne.astori]

Try something like this:

myPushButton.LargeImage = GetIcon(myIcon);

Here the method to get the BitmapSource:

private static BitmapSource GetIcon(Icon icon)

{ return Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHIcon(icon.Handle, Int32Rect.Empty, BitmapSizeOptions.FromEmptyOptions()); }

I hope this helps.

I usually add it to the resources of the project and then refer to it as follow:

myPushButton.LargeImage = GetIcon(MyProject.Properties.Resources.MyIcon);

[sensiblehira]

I am getting error from the class Icon what reference has to be added for this. I am currently just following the beginner tutorials so I am confused by your answer. Hope you don't mind explaining

[corinne.astori]

For the Icon class, You need to add a reference to System.Drawing (add using System.Drawing at the top).

[sensiblehira]

is it from System.Drawing.Icon?

plus I am getting error for the later Image as well

[corinne.astori]

Yes the Icon class is in System.Drawing.
What error are you getting?
Can you post your current code?
I am sorry if I confused you more than anything else, just trying to help...
