Show Item Picture on RTC Report Line

Betrachter84

Hi

I'm trying to show a picture on a rtc report line. The picture shall be stored somewhere but not inside NAV Database. the only thing i like to store inside NAV database on the item record is the link to the picture.

My RTC report should read that link an show the picture. Is that possible with NAV2009 R2? What data format for the picuture would i need? Is there some documentation for that specific topic?

Thanks for any help!

Set Property: EnableExternalImages to True

Then use a PictureBox in RDLC Layout with the option External (out of the three: External, Embedded, Database)
and put your link as Value of the PictureBox.

Thank you for the tips, it works.

One important thing to think of is to define the file link this way (for a jpg): file:c:\...\picture1.jpg
