Hi!

Im working with VS2005 and I have created a winforms application that uses
the reportviewer to show a report. I have a header with some text, a table
which I populate from a datasource, and an image which I also need to
populate from a datasource. The problem is that the image doesnt show, all I
get is a red X

I ahve found no example code anywhere on msdn that show how to display jpegs
from a database... So I have played with the code for about 2 days, and now I
give up. I have read all documentation regarding images from database that I
found on msdn.
---------------------------------------------------------
Here is some code:

_reportViewer.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(New
ReportDataSource("ReportData_Table", _bodyDs.Tables(0)))

       
       _reportViewer.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(New
ReportDataSource("ReportData_TablePicture", _pictureDs.Tables(0)))
----------------------------------------------------------

The _pictureDs.Tables(0) dataset contains one column called "BLOB" which
contains the jpeg picture. I have configured the image as follows:

MIMEType: image/jpeg
Source: Database
Value: =Fields!BLOB.Value

One thing puzzles me. I dont specify a datasource, as I do with the table
object, does the reportviewer search in both databases for a column called
BLOB? Or how is it supposed to work? Im very puzzled by this.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Her eis some xml code from the report:

<Image Name="imgPAM">
       <Sizing>AutoSize</Sizing>
       <Left>8cm</Left>
       <MIMEType>image/gif</MIMEType>
       <Top>2.75cm</Top>
       <ZIndex>5</ZIndex>
       <Width>6.5cm</Width>
       <Source>Database</Source>
       <Style>
         <BorderStyle>
           <Default>Solid</Default>
         </BorderStyle>
       </Style>
       <Height>6.25cm</Height>
       <Value>=Fields!BLOB.Value</Value>
     </Image>

--------------------------------------------------------------------
The datasource section:
 <DataSets>
   <DataSet Name="ReportData_Table">
     <rd:DataSetInfo>
       <rd:DataSetName>ReportData</rd:DataSetName>
       <rd:TableName>Table</rd:TableName>

     <Query>
