How to add a image to the ReportVeiwer

Good day all

I have the vwd 2005 express and am playing around with the report veiwer.

How can i put the image on my report ( as a header) . I have draged the image control from the toolbox onto my Report.rdlc form , but it,s not the same as the image control in the toolbox for the "aspx" forms. I cannot right click and set a image URL.

There is a backgroundImage property but the wording is unfamilier to me eg, Source.. External , Value... MIMEType etc.

Can anyone help with getting the image into the report?

Thanks

Rob

Hi Rob,

The only way to add image in the report is by using the image control, and yes its different from the one for the aspx pages.

When you place a image control on the form an image wizard will be opened where you can choose whether you want the image to be embadded into the report itself/use a common image for a project/image stored in database/use an image hosted on net.

Just select the appropriate option and select the image. For more information check these links -
