    Hi - as we all know when developing an application in Visual studio (assumming c#), you can change a controls property like for example a buttons text property to reflect its function which is all very nice. But what happens when you say don't want to change the text property, infact you done even want any text there? All you want is a logo instead, how do you go about getting a logo on a button, give that it does not have a image property?

    • A button has an image property.
    • A button has a text property.
    • Either or both of those may be specified.
    • You have 4 possibilities.
    • One of which will meet your needs.

          With WPF your options are even greater, if I remember correctly. Take a look at some of the WPF articles here on CodeProject and you are bound to find some samples.

          Just say 'NO' to evaluated arguments for diadic functions! Ash

                It's easily done with WPF.  See this[^] code snippet, for example. /ravi

                  You can place virtually any control inside the button, even a listbox, datagrid or in your case an image. You all add them in the content property. In this case better specify the Content as an element instead of an attribute. see MSDN for more details

                    Now that would look positively weird. But who knows? It might be useful in some odd application...
