Question: I have a simple question. I want to add an icon to a C# WPF Button control. I do not want to have to write C# code, or edit XAML to do this.

However, when I click on the button in the Designer, there is no option under properties to set an image. How do you do this through the Visual Studio GUI?

Answer: 
The easiest/best way to do this is to add an `Image` control as the `Content` of the `Button`.

The property window is somewhat limited in what it can do, and only supports text for that property. This does include bindings, so you could use an `Image` `StaticResource`. I couldn't find an easy way to create one from the property designer either though.

So basically, you are stuck with editing XAML. Either with a direct `Content` property or by creating an element in `Resources` Its not that bad! Just write:

```
<Button>
   <Button.Content>
      <Image ImageSource="..."/>
   </Button.Content>
</Button>

```

Now of course, you could create a *custom* button that exposed that property via the designer, but thats even *more* XAML. Its WPF, you are going to have to write XAML, so learning how should be a priority.
Visual Studio 2015:
create a button.
create an image.
set the source of the image to the right file of your resources (e.g. a .png file that you included to your project)
drag the image over the button.
A text shows that asks you to press ALT to replace the text of the button with the image.

I currently don't know how to get both, image and text, for a button.

in XAML, it looks like this:

```
<Button x:Name="button12" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,10,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75">
   <Image x:Name="image" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="24" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="24" Source="gfx/new.png"/>
</Button>

```
