I am trying to render a report as an image in my web service and return a byte[] to my client. The byte[] is then converted back into an image for display in the browser. From my debug sessions, I can see that byte[] does have data in it and the view appears to have a correctly sized image; however, the image is completely blank.
This report in particular requires one Integer parameter, ArgID, to be passed in. Blank values can not be accepted. Below is the code I am using (function names and arguments have been modified for brevity).
Web-Service code to render the report as an image:
View file img tag:
Action called from img tag:
I've only just started using Telerik Reporting over SSRS and would like to make the case for switching to Telerik for a long-term solution if I can manage to get programmatic generation working within specifications. Any and all support is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
