Hi,
When i try to display an image from the database,it does not give any error
and does not show the image either. It does not show the box also which has
the cross sign. On seeing the report it seems there is no image eventhough
i have an image from the db on the report.
Please help.
Thanx,
Warm Regards,
Kalpnacan you list down the steps that you performed to display an image?

Then in the image wizard that pops up i select image from Database and set
the datset that has the image item from the database and the corresponding
field and the mime type(tried with all the available mime types) and then
say OK and finish.
When i preview /view the report nothing is shown.It does not even show the
image box with a cross or something like that.
Any help wud be of great use.
Thanx,
Kalpna

Access would convert images into OLE images). You can try the following
expression to get rid of the OLE chunk:
=System.Convert.FromBase64String(Mid(System.Convert.ToBase64String(Fields!Pi
cture.Value), 105))

work for me. All of my images are inserted with an Access Data Project to SQL
Image fields. Some are BMP files, JPG files, or even AutoCAD files. Access
displays them correctly, but Reporting Services will not. Is there any other
way to strip away the OLE junk and get the image placeholder to display? Any
help is greatly appreciated.

What should MIMEType be set to?

Is there a way to specify an ActiveX container to be deployed and used for
other types of OLE objects stored in the db, or even as files on the server
(using Source = External) in the RS 2000 report design?

assembly and convert the data into an image format RS can work with.
For external server files we allow only the given list of MimeTypes - also
for security reasons. Another reason is that when you create a history
snapshot, you would not only expect to get an exact snapshot of your data,
but also an exact snapshot of external images that were available at
snapshot creation time. So, when you render the history snapshot years
later, you still get *exactly* the same data and images across the supported
output formats.
