WPF throws "Cannot locate resource" exception when loading the image

I am having a WPF window, with a background image of one file in my local system. So the XAML file looks like this:

 <Window.Background>
    <ImageBrush ImageSource="/MYASSEMBLY;component/Resources/MyPic.png"/>
 </Window.Background>

In the XAML designer it actually shows this background image, so the image does exist in MYASSEMBLY\Resources folder. However, in the InitializeComponent() function call when I launch the application, it throws the exception

Cannot locate resource 'resources/mypic.png'.

So I am totally lost now. Are the directories different between the design and runtime so doesn't exist in the runtime?
