image in web report

Roger · Post by **Roger** » Thu May 22, 2008 2:02 pm

Hi,

In Designer it is possible to show an image as a header in the report.
Once I copied the report to the website and view it online the image has disappeared.
The Designer offers several ways to include an image in the report.
I have tried them all.

What is the best way to include an image as a header in the report.

Thanks in advance!

The best way to show images in StiWebViewer is ImageURL property. Also please try to increase time of the ServerTimeout property.

Thank you.

Hi James,

Please assign the following property:

Image1.ImageURLValue = "http://www.myurl";

It is possible also in the code of the report, i.e. in the BeforePrintEvent of the page.

Thank you.

hi dear Edward . sorry for my delay.

i changed my code:
this.imgEmployee.ImageURLValue = "d:\abc.jpg";

it did not work, after that i changed my code again:
public void Page1_BeforePrint(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.imgEmployee.ImageURLValue = "d:\abc.jpg";
}
but StiWebViewer did not load image.

i changed Stimulsoft assembly to last version and test previous actions, but ...

i don't know what can i do to solve my problem!!

thanks

Hi James,

Was the folder you tried to access accessible? Maybe the path was not correct?

Thank you.

hi

the path is real and correct, i tested it:

this.imgEmployee.ImageURLValue = "~/img.jpg";
or
this.imgEmployee.ImageURLValue = "d:\img.jpg";

but i can not do that.:amazed:

by the way, i have Stimulsoft.Report 2007 and use it.
does it work well?

Thank you

Hello,

Please add following method in your report code:

Code: Select all

public static Image LoadBitmap(string url)
{
	WebClient cl = new WebClient();
	cl.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
	byte [] bytes = cl.DownloadData(url);
        cl.Dispose();

	MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(bytes);
        return new Bitmap(stream);
}

Also you need add usings to:

Code: Select all

System.IO
System.Net

After then in BeforePrintEvent of image component:

Code: Select all

Image1.ImageToDraw = LoadBitmap("http://www.stimulsoft.com/Images/Logo/stimulsoft.logo.png");

Thank you.
