In my Windows 10 app I want to set button content from a resource file. In the designer the vector image from the resource file is visible. But in runtime the following exception occurs:
An exception of type 'Windows.UI.Xaml.Markup.XamlParseException' occurred in Demo.UI.W10.exe but was not handled in user code WinRT information: Failed to assign to property 'Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.ContentControl.Content'. [Line: 15 Position: 17] Additional information: The text associated with this error code could not be found.
This is my resource dictionary Icons.xaml which holds the vector image in the Viewbox control with the key WiFi:

This is my App.xaml where I add the Icons.xaml resource file in the MergedDictionaries:
<Application
x:Class="Demo.UI.W10.App"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="using:Demo.UI.W10"
RequestedTheme="Light">
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Assets/Icons.xaml"/>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Assets/Styles.xaml"/>
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
In my mvvmcross page I use the vector image WiFi from the resource file to set the button content.
<views:MvxWindowsPage
x:Class="Demo.UI.W10.Views.ConnectionView"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="using:Demo.UI.W10.Views"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:vm="using:Demo.Core.ViewModels"
xmlns:views="using:Cirrious.MvvmCross.WindowsUWP.Views"
mc:Ignorable="d">
<Page.Resources>
<vm:ConnectionViewModel x:Key="ViewModel"/>
</Page.Resources>
<Grid>
<Button Content="{StaticResource Wifi}" Command="{Binding DemoCommand, Source={StaticResource ViewModel}}" Style="{StaticResource BtnMenuStyle}"/>
</Grid>
</views:MvxWindowsPage>
How can I use the vector image from the resource dictionary as button content?
