WPF/C#: Creating a button style: Text + Image

Question

I just want to ask how should I put my image (dynamically) in this following code:

<Style x:Key="ButtonStyler" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
    <Setter Property="Background">
        <Setter.Value>
            <RadialGradientBrush>
                <RadialGradientBrush.GradientStops>
                    <GradientStopCollection>
                        <GradientStop Color="black" Offset="0" />
                        <GradientStop Color="black" Offset="1" />
                    </GradientStopCollection>
                </RadialGradientBrush.GradientStops>
            </RadialGradientBrush>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
    <Setter Property="Height" Value="40" />
    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="white" />
    <Setter Property="Grid.Row" Value="2" />
    <Setter Property="Grid.Column" Value="3" />
    <Setter Property="Content" Value="Forgot your password?" />
    <Setter Property="ContentTemplate"
            Value="{DynamicResource myContentTemplate}" />
    <Setter Property="Margin" Value="3" />
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
                <Grid>
                    <Rectangle x:Name="GelBackground"

                            Fill="{TemplateBinding Background}"

        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
    <Style.Triggers>
        <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="black " />
        </Trigger>
        <Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="true">
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="black " />
        </Trigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
</Style>

I am planning to set the image's file destination in my code-behind (C#). For the output, the WPF button can both display the text and the image (placed in the right side of the text)

Any suggestions?

Your template includes a ContentPresenter, bound to the Content of the Button. So, you can simply set the image and/or text as the content of the button and they will go there.

<Button Style="{StaticResource ButtonStyler}">
    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
        <Image Source="..." />
        <TextBlock Text="..." />
    </StackPanel>
</Button>

Is there a way I can set the image source in .cs (C#)?

Timores Over a year ago

Yes, Create an ImageSource instance, set its Source property to the image you want and set the Source property of Image to the ImageSource instance.

just try this link. In this they created custom implementation of the button and a dependency property ImageSource so the you can use either from the code behind or from the XAML
