Useful hints when using Eto's Xaml (.xeto) for defining your UI

Using images or other resources:

When you want to use images in your xaml (.xeto) or other embedded resources, you can use the ResourceExtension markup extension like so:

Add your image(s) to the project
Set them as embedded resource
In the .xeto file, use the {Resource ...} markup extension:

<ImageView Image="{Resource MyAssembly.Path.To.Image.png, MyAssembly}" />

The resource file path should be provided in the same format returned by Assembly.GetManifestResourceNames().

Note: You can omit the assembly at the end if your code behind class is in the same assembly.
