Switch between images

[jmiller]

I am using the WpfDesigner to create a test report. The data source has several boolean columns. On the report if the data in the column is true I want to show a green checkbox image. For false I have a read X image. I add an Image control to the report, but I cannot figure out how to have the image reflect the appropriate image based on the column. I tried adding this to the image data property:

{IIF(UserAccount.HasFullAccess==1,
System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("C:\\Development\\Icons\\GreenCheck.png"),
System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("C:\\Development\\Icons\\RedX.png")
)
}

When I try to preview the report I get the following error:
Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'System.Drawing.Image'

I also notice that when I am in the Image Data tab, that nothing appears in the right, other posts seem to show something (No Data Source expander, etc).

I'm sure a developer will give you a better answer shortly, but you might want to look more at the Conditions property; in my experience it's more flexible (and useful) than IIF.

Hello,

one of good solutions is to put two Image components over each other.
Put the green checkbox image into the first component and the red X image into the second one.
And, using Condition, hide one of the Images depending on the UserAccount.HasFullAccess value.

Thank you.
