MonoTouch - How to specify image path of UIImage.FromFile()

DortGen picture DortGen · Jun 1, 2011 · Viewed 7.4k times · Source

I have a path problem with UIImage.FromFile() method. My solution folder has 3 projects and the main UI project has an Images folder in it. I put all my project images in this folder and I have code like this:

UIImage myImg = UIImage.FromFile("Images/someImage.png");

I have already examined this and all these topics..

I set images property of build to "content" and etc..

Can you help me:

  • step by step adding an image to a specific project folder and use it dynamically
  • how to use NSBundle and why we have to use this?

Generally, if you have right clicked on the file, gone to it's properties and marked it as Content then the following will work:

UIImage myImg = UIImage.FromFile(@"Images/someImage.png");
