Images in Reporting Services from database

I have a data table which contains a bmp image saved as a byte array. I am trying to have this image presented in a report, however, I get a red X after I follow the wizard.

I also tried it with the SQL Northwind database and I have the same issue. I am running SQL Reporting services 2005. Any suggestions on what could be going wrong?

after placing the image you have select the image source i.e. database in your case and then you have select the field name which contains image and the MIME type as image/bmp or try image/png.

this should work

I have tried with both image/bmp and image/png on northwind DB as recommended. I still get red cross. Any ideal what's wrong?

Particularly read the comment near the top if the images came originally from an Access database, because in that case the actual image data is an OLE image and you have to write an expression to remove the OLE image header from the data. This also applies to the Northwind sample database.

Furthermore, I recommend to install SQL Server 2005 SP1 for Reporting Services.

image won't show up

Hey all,
I have an image to put into a report. It's a jpg. I can see it in
layout view, but in preview or when deployed, i get a red "x" - any
idea why or how to fix it? Thanks!!
jenrI have experienced the same problem in 2005 - NEVER in 2000!
I don't know what is happening!

Is the image in your "project" ?
Was the image deployed to your server with the "deploy" of the project?
That is all I have ever done in the past - but I am speculating "here" and I
think there are some weird issues with the GDI of 2005! As I have said in
previous posts a graphical report in RS2000 works perfectly and taking the
same report to 2005 - some graphs are never rendered - a GDI+ error. Maybe
not the same with a *.jpg - but something for sure is funny somewhere.

image files

I've uploaded a gif file to RS using Reports Manager, but when I go to view
the image in RS/RM, it does not display. Only a red X displays.
I'm using RS 2000 with Form based authentication.

I would suggest embedding the image in the report itself. Hope this
helps.

IIF Statment to compare two values in joined tables

Hi

I'm trying to compare two varchars to check if they are the same, if they are the same then the color must turn red, if not then they must remain black

SELECT *

from members m, client c

where C.ClientID = m.ClientID

AND c.ClientID in (87,86)

AND m.email in ('dassd@.fdskjh.com','asdfas@.sdfd.net', etc...)

my results will give me two of the same email addresses but with different ClientID's, now when it

finds the same email it needs to make them both "RED"

Please help, any advice would be helpful

Kind Regards

Carel Greaves

Two ways occur to me:

- add a COUNT(c.ClientId) and GROUP BY m.email to your sql query, then check that count when displaying the data in your report - if the count is greater than 1 then you can colour the email field red

- use a row group in your report, grouping by email address, then have the other fields following - but if you use this approach you won't need to colour the email addresses red, as it will be instantly obvious which addresses are assigned to more than one client

iif expression...need to add another condition...

Ok,
This expression for the font color is great:
=IIf(Fields!Purchase.Value < 0, "Red", "CornflowerBlue")
It changes negatives to red, positives to CornflowerBlue.
However, I need 0 (zero values) to be White, so that there is the third
color.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
TrintMy only suggestion is to have a nested "iff" I do this quite a bit.
=IIf(Fields!Purchase.Value < 0, "Red", IIF(Fields!Purchase.Value = 0,
"White","CornflowerBlue"))
Hope that works.

=getPurchaseColour(Fields!Purchase.Value)
... and have a function like this (pseudocode)..
friend function getPurchaseColour(value) as string
if value<0 return "Red"
if value=0 return "White"
return "CornflowerBlue"
end function
