Image Button Extension helps you add an images to your LightSwitch Buttons. Also you can wrap button text.
Change Log : V1.1
* Added another control : Transparent Image Button with GrayScale support when Image is in Disable state
* Added support for Description
I have a version (from your source control) that has been compiled to install on both Visual Studio 2010 and 2012. I'd be happy to email you a copy for the gallery if you like.
I have the same here too. There is a thread in the LS forums where a VS2012 version would work nicely. I think that changing the targets for the VSIX and building in VS2010 ought to make it work with VS2010/LS2011 and VS2012 as Jooky indicates too.

Hi Jooky DFW,
I'd be most grateful if indeed you could send me a copy of this extension compiled for VS2012. It's holding me up big-time!

Many Thanks
You can rename the vsix extension file to zip, extract the files and edit extension.vsixmanifest changing the
#<VisualStudio Version="10.0">#
line to
#<VisualStudio Version="11.0">#
Compress, rename to vsix and you should be able to install it to vs2012.
Hi,
Renamed the extension to .zip changed the manifest.
compressed with winzip. Renamed to .vsix again.
Tried to add the extension.
Error. The manifest is not in the root.
Help, anyone!

This is a easy way to make it work in Vs2012:
Download winrar (free)
Download extension
Open extension with winrar
Do not unzip.
Just locate the Manifestfile. Change 10.0 to 11.0
Save and Winrar change the archive.
No run the extension and choose to start with vs2012 version checker.
Done!

Hi,
Any chance that this excellent extension can be made compatible with VS 2012 RTM? I use it a lot in my projects and there's at least 3 I'd like to convert but this issue is holding me up!
Many Thanks,

Hi,
The Image button extension is great, thanks. Unfortunately though mouse hover does not cause the description text to be displayed as a tooltip; in fact nothing is displayed. Any chance of a fix for this please? (Just for information, I am using these from a Row Layout's command bar).
Also, would it be possible to have a version which does NOT display the button outline as a square, but just the attached image itself?
Many thanks, Ian Mac
Thx for ur compliment Ian. Unfortunately, I can't look into this for next few weeks at least. But soon I able to get back, I'll c what I can do reg ur query.
Ian,
Updated the extension and added features based on ur valuable suggestions. Plz let me know if I can improve the control more.
Once again thx for ur feedback!! :)
Hi
Great work, thanks for sharing it with us! I wonder if/how it is possible to set the image in code. I want to create a 2-state button (eg modify/don't modify).
Thank you, dBrunschwiler
