  I am trying to set up RadOutlookBarItems in the code behind. I want to add an icon to each section so far I have this:
  
  

  private void addOutlookBarSections()

  {

      Sections = new ObservableCollection<RadOutlookBarItem>();

  
    RadOutlookBarItem projects = new RadOutlookBarItem();

      projects.Header = "Projects";

      BitmapImage projectsIcon = new BitmapImage(new Uri("media/images/project_24.png", UriKind.Relative));

      projects.Icon = projectsIcon;

      Sections.Add(projects);

    

      RadOutlookBarItem clients = new RadOutlookBarItem();

      clients.Header = "Clients";

      BitmapImage clientsIcon = new BitmapImage(new Uri("media/images/person_24.png", UriKind.Relative));

      clients.Icon = clientsIcon;

      Sections.Add(clients);

    

  }

  
  
  It runs and the sections are there, but the icons are not. The icons are included in the project, What's the right way to do this?
  
  Thanks

  Hello Kevin,
  
  I am not sure how you're using the Sections collection to populate the RadOutlookBar with items and this is why I attached a sample project where I used your code snippet to populate directly the RadOutlookBar.Items collection and it works as expected on our side. Can you please give it a try and let me know if it works for you or if I'm missing something from your approach
  
  Kind regards,
