  • Hi, welcome to SO. Are you sure that's your current code? I went to edit it thinking that some of it was just not displaying, but no sure enough it's pretty broken syntax. It should just be <Button><StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"><Image .../><TextBlock Text="Play"/></StackPanel></Button>

  • I'm not familiar with Button.Icon as a thing. You can do something like SymbolIcon but in the same way as documentation shows. Another issue you'll likely run into is with your file (spaces in it) name, its relative path, and whether you have it marked as a resource etc. I'd start there.

The Button control has no Icon property in UWP. If you want to show image in Button's content, you could custom its content like the following:



<Button Name="btnPlay"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
Margin="10"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Click="BtnPlay_Click">
<Button.Content>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image Source="/Assets/play.png" Width="30" Height="20"/>
<TextBlock Text="Play"></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</Button.Content>
</Button>
