Dynamic Images in a Table

[Carl]

Hi there,

I'd like to display an image dynamically against each row of a table based on the object in the datasource. Is there an existing example of this being done at all please?

Many thanks, Carl

Hello Vineet,

Why you are using the NeedDataSource event? Generally we highly recommend to use declarative SqlDataSource component instead. Additionally the PictureBox works directly with image paths. Just right click the PictureBox, select Expressions and select the appropriate field for the image paths.

Kind regards,

Hi Peter

Hi VINEET,

The OpenAccessDataSource Component enables data items to connect to an OpenAccess Model. Additionally you can use parameter as elaborated in Using parameters with the OpenAccessDataSource component and you do some calculations by using calculated fields and user functions.

You may find useful the following help resources:

• Binding Telerik Reports to OpenAccess video.
• OpenAccessDataSource Wizard help article.

I see above... My image is pulling from a separate sqldatasource than the main report.

I can't assign a data source to the image because imagebox does not have the datasource property.  Therefor, I cannot set it to Fields.Image.

I have strategically made a separate datasource for the image because it will change dynamically with a parameter that is passed in for each client.  The image data is stored in the database.  The 'LogoDataSource' returns the correct field, but I dont know how to assign this data source to the image box.

Hi Phil,

You may place the PictureBox in a List item and assign the 'LogoDataSource' as a DataSource for the List. Then you will be able to use Fields.Image in the PictureBox inside the List.

Thanks Todor, this worked for me!

I have one more question.  I know it is easy part, but my image seems to grow too large, outside the bounds of the size I have set.  If there an option to make sure the image shrinks to fit the size I have set?  Even proportionally shrink?  Could you give an example of the property and how to use.

Thanks for the help,

Phil

Hi Phil,

I confirm that the PictureBox item has a scaling property Sizing. See Clipping and positioning for more details and the available options.
