  Hi All,

  I am trying to include a Data bound image in SSRS 2008, have followed the same steps given in microsoft technet link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd239367.aspx but image is not displaying, it just gives a cross mark image indicating image not available.

  Request for suggestions.

  Thanks

  Sravan

  Found out how to do it via these two links:

  Bascially this guy came up with an SSRS expression that works:

  forums.devarticles.com/.../displaying-image-fields-in-reporting-services-11844.html

  An this guy make me realise what the guy above was on about plus the fact that AX does its own thing to OLE headers on images:

  http://www.hakasolutions.com/.../Insert-Company-logo-in-SSRS-reports-AX

  But to save your frustration all you need is this:

  System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(Mid(System. Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(Fields!Picture.Value),8))

  The 8 is the starting postion for the Mid function as AX for some stupid reason slaps 7 useless characters leading the bitmap string.
