I have a report that has a PictureBox on it which I am using for an employee signature. I store the signature in the SQL server as a varbinary(max). The employee signature will be different for every report and is returned in the SqlDataSource for the report. I recently started getting a ""Parameter Not Valid" exception when rendering the report as a pdf and had to reboot the IIS server to get the report to render again. I must either be doing something wrong or not using the best practice for this scenario.  Here is how I am importing the bmp signature to the table in SQL server:


Here is how I am rendering the report to pdf:

I think it is the signature block causing the issue but I could be wrong. Any suggestions as to how to properly add a bmp file to a report dynamically?

The watermark shows fine in the designer using Print Preview.
During runtime there is a crash.

How can i send in additional external parameters based on other factors into teh report.

Lets say user can log in only as one group and the report has to set up so it will give only the right parameters to filter the data on.

Thanks

Hi, we are using Q3 2012 Reporting, and have a class library that contains all our reports. We are creating sub reports and in our main report, in the sub-report properties tab, click ReportSource, and then select Object Instance, and finally, select document from the drop down. The resulting list only contains some, but not all of the reports in our report class library. Why is this so?

Hello,

I need to place image in the html control in the Telerik Report. Please help me to find it.

Thanks
Siva

Is there any movement on getting the documentation for the Reporting product in MSHelp3 format?
