Loading PDF as Base-64 into Picture control.

[Carlos]

Hello Team,  

I have a report that contains 2 images. one jpg --> base64   and one PDF --> base64. I use expression to fill the value for the picture Box controls as shown below. 

When I run the report the PDF image is missing. I also tried to paste the B64 text, but it didn't work. I'm I missing a step?   

Using Report Designer version 17.2.23.1010.  .NET Framework 4

Hello Carlos,

Indeed, we support Base64 as an Image format in the PictureBox item. The PictureBox cannot display PDF Base64 strings though. The Reporting Engine determines the type of the Base64 encoded content from its starting symbols that indicate the MIME type - see for more details the Stackoverflow thread How to get MIME-TYPE from Base 64 String? If the Image value does not represent a valid image, it is treated as a URL.
