xaml - Best way to use a vector image in WPF?

Question

I am looking for a good method to handle a vector files (EPS or SVG) in a XAML. I found a plugin that exports an image from Illustrator to a XAML , and it works well if I copy the content of the file to my window.

But, is it possible to use the xaml output instead as a resource or something, and import/convert it from the given XAML window example?

Tool I am using: Adobe Illustrator to Xaml.

Personally, if you're talking about using it in multiple places without having to re-use / re-draw your xaml paths each time. Then I just plop them in a ContentControl like;

<!-- Plop this in your resource dictionary or your resource declaration -->
    <Style x:Key="TheAwesomeXAMLimage" TargetType="ContentControl">
            <!-- Add additional Setters Here -->
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="ContentControl">

                                <!-- Just Paste your XAML here -->

                </ControlTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>                      
    </Style>

<!-- Now actually place it on your view -->
    <ContentControl Style="{StaticResource TheAwesomeXAMLimage}"/>
