title: Providing the WPF designer with an image at DesignTime
body: <p>This is a restatement of my question, the revision history contains the original mess.</p>
  
  <p>What it boils down to is "How do I get the application's directory from my WPF application, at design time?"</p>
  
  <p>Which duplicates the question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1808856/how-do-i-get-the-applications-directory-from-my-wpf-application-at-design-time">here</a> so if you happen to be passing by please vote to close, thanks.</p>
