[Solved] Image byte[] in Grid and RowDetails

[Tomasz Wisniewski]

Hi,

I'm building a small example with the Northwind database. The Employees table has a column Photo which is mapped by Entity Framework as Byte[]. I'm trying to use the ImageColumn in my grid or and Image field in my details with the BinaryToImageConverter but all I get is a catastrophic exception.

Any suggestion on how to solve it?

Hello,

 Please verify if this picture data can be displayed with normal Image outside of the grid. 

Best wishes,

I've tried to dispaly the photo in the RowDetails with the Image control and BinaryToImageConverter setp up but the same thing happens. Your demos run on Northwind DB and it's fine :/

Hello,

 We are using our own version of Northing with modified images - the images in the original version are not compatible with Silverlight.

What images are you using? How they are encoded in the database so I can use them with your controls?

[Vlad]

Hi,

 You do not need special images for our controls - just images compatible with Silverlight. You cannot for example display OLE images (original Northing images types) in Silverlight.
