Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

Hello,
when adding an image in a report with StimulReport WPF, the absolute path of the image is saved in the report. This generates problems when the designed of the report is not made in the same machine as its use (i.e. when used in a Web server).
What would be nice is the possibility to have relative path for images, where the root path is the path of the .mrt file.
Actually, I can change the path of the image, when editing manually the .mrt file. Unfortunately, the root path is not set to the path of the .mrt file, so it doesn't work correctly.

Hello,

It is not correct to save relative paths. You may, when adding an image, immediately edit the image path. And in the .mrt file that very path will be saved.

Thank you.

Andrew,
as I say in my previous message, it doesn't work, because we have no control about the root path used when compiling the report.

Hello Patrick,

May be we don't exactly understand you. Can you say which proeprties you use when specify image?

Thank you.

Jan,
I have an Image where I would like to set the File property to something like "..\Images\MyLogo.wmf", so I can keep all the logo in the same directory, but will have no problem when the report is moved in another folder.

Hello Patrick,

We have added new static property - StiOptions.Engine.Image.AbsolutePathOfImages. In this property you can specify absolute path which will be used in combination with path from File property of image component.

Thank you.
