The problem is the way you are using it in code  Just try the below code  public partial class MainView   Window       public MainView                 InitializeComponent             ImageBrush myBrush   new ImageBrush            myBrush ImageSource               new BitmapImage new Uri  pack   application     icon jpg   UriKind Absolute            this Background   myBrush            You can find more details regarding this in  http   msdn microsoft com en-us library aa970069 aspx
