    copied!<p>Here is an example that sets the image path dynamically (image located somewhere on disc rather than build as resource):</p> <pre><code>if (File.Exists(imagePath)) { // Create image element to set as icon on the menu element Image icon = new Image(); BitmapImage bmImage = new BitmapImage(); bmImage.BeginInit(); bmImage.UriSource = new Uri(imagePath, UriKind.Absolute); bmImage.EndInit(); icon.Source = bmImage; icon.MaxWidth = 25; item.Icon = icon; } </code></pre> <h2>Reflections on Icons...</h2> <p>First thought, you would think that the Icon property can only contain an image. But it can actually contain anything! I discovered this by accident when I programmatically tried to set the <code>Image</code> property directly to a string with the path to an image. The result was that it did not show the image, but the actual text of the path!</p> <p>This leads to an alternative to not have to make an image for the icon, but use text with a symbol font instead to display a simple "icon". The following example uses the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingdings" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Wingdings font</a> which contains a "floppydisk" symbol. This symbol is really the character <code>&lt;</code>, which has special meaning in XAML, so we have to use the encoded version <code>&amp;lt;</code> instead. This works like a dream! The following shows a floppydisk symbol as an icon on the menu item:</p> <pre><code>&lt;MenuItem Name="mnuFileSave" Header="Save" Command="ApplicationCommands.Save"&gt; &lt;MenuItem.Icon&gt; &lt;Label VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" FontFamily="Wingdings"&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;/Label&gt; &lt;/MenuItem.Icon&gt; &lt;/MenuItem&gt; </code></pre>
