Display Images in a Report

Several scenarios are available that allow you to display images in a report. Some
reports can include a specific image for each record in the report, whereas others
might include a few standard images that are used each time the report is used.
The following are ways to reference an image in a report:

• Embedded - the image is added directly to the reporting project

• External - the image is store outside the project, referenced by a URL

• Database - the image is stored with a record in the database 

External images can only be used for Precision Reports. Precision Reports are
developed using SQL Report Designer to allow for precise layouts, such as for
invoices or checks.

The following procedure shows how to add an embedded image:

1. To add an image and make it available to all reports in the model,
select Image from the Add Element drop-down menu on the toolbar
of the Visual Studio Model Editor.

2. To add the image directly to a report, right-click the desired report,
click Add, and then click Image. When you add an image directly to
a report, it is available to that report only.

3. Select the new image node. In the Properties window select the
image file in the Image Source field. Valid file types for image files
are: .bmp, .gif, .jpeg, .png, and .xpng.
