I'm trying to display an image beside a top-level menu item. So, I write the XAML as follows:

        <igMenu:XamWebMenuItem x:Name="appMenuNew" Header="New">
          <igMenu:XamWebMenuItem.Icon>
            <Image Source="images/New.png" />
          </igMenu:XamWebMenuItem.Icon>
        </igMenu:XamWebMenuItem>

The image does not display but if I code the same in 2nd-level menu items, the images are displayed. Is this intentional or do I have to do somethings else to work around this?

Just to try doing a workaround this while waiting for your reply to this post, I changed the above xaml to this:

           <igMenu:XamWebMenuItem x:Name="appMenuNew">
                <igMenu:XamWebMenuItem.Header>
                    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                        <Image Source="../Images/NewDoc.png" />
                        <TextBlock Text="New"/>
                    </StackPanel>
                </igMenu:XamWebMenuItem.Header>
            </igMenu:XamWebMenuItem>

However, when I resized the Preview and xaml windows, VS2008 crashed and exited.

By design the root items in XamWebMenu can't have icons. However, you can do a workaround by using HeaderTemplate. Your code should look something like this:

            <igMenu:XamWebMenuItem x:Name="appMenuNew">
                <igMenu:XamWebMenuItem.HeaderTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                         <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                             <Image Source="../Images/NewDoc.png" />
                             <TextBlock Text="New"/>
                         </StackPanel>
                    </DataTemplate>
                </igMenu:XamWebMenuItem.HeaderTemplate>
            </igMenu:XamWebMenuItem>

This works! Thank you very much Georgi for the help and for the quick reply! I got another problem this time on XamWebSeparator but I think I'll just post it in another thread. Thanks a lot!
