Syntax to link to Image

[Reese]

I think I want to do something simple.  I just want to link PictureBox image to a file I uploaded into my Project in Visual Studio.  See screenshot below.

What is the syntax I should use in a UserFunction to link the value of the PictureBox to the image located in the directory indicated below.

Hello, Reese,

I answered your question in the private ticket conversation. However, I will repeat my answer here, as it may also be helpful for other users in our Q&A forum. 

The PictureBox report item is used to display images on a report. Its value can be an expression that contains binary image data, or it can be a URI (local path or URL). When a Value property is assigned a string that is not an expression (doesn't start with "="), the value is assumed to be a URI.

To link a PictureBox image to a file, you need to click on the PictureBox's Value and select the image or provide it as a path. For this purpose, you don't need a User function.

Regarding the last question, the property you set for the image depends on how you plan to use it.

• You can use Content if you want the image to be part of the project output and accessible as a file.
• The Resource property you can use if you want the image to be embedded in the assembly and accessed as a resource. 
• The Embedded Resource you can use if you want the image to be embedded in the assembly, but accessed via a stream.

If you need further assistance with this issue, I recommend using the private ticket instead, as the response time there is 24 hours.
