Image not displayed in report

I am creating a very simple report in VS 2005. I dragged an image
control to the report surface and set it's value property to the
virtual path of my image (like "~/SubPage/Trademark.jpg"). However,
the image is never displayed - either at design time, when the report
viewer runs, or when the report is exported to PDF. I just get the
standard "No image" (red X) icon.
I have read other posts about this but most of them were trying to do
something more complicated than me. At this point, I am not trying to
do any logic for the visibility or the value it is trying to display.
I read about a bug that might be related here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842537/
...but I am not sure if this pertains to me (as I am not pointing to a
URL, but rather a virtual path). I am leery of applying this SP2
patch, as there is no way to uninstall it, and I am not sure if it
will "break" anything that is currently working.
I would appreciate any suggestions that anyone could give me.
Thank you!Kirk,
Try embedding the image into the report instead of using the URL.

To make it work, do what Marie says or use absolute URL

Thanks for the replies. I used the absolute URL and that worked.
It's unfortunate that this does not work with a relative path.
Obviously, thing change (and move around on servers) and having to
update the application just to update absolute URL's is goofy. I
know, I know, you can add this as a configuration setting so that you
don't have to rebuild the site - I was just whining.
Thanks again!
