Parsing Blob Value to be displayed in Report Header

jordi79

Hi,

I need to display a barcode blob image in the Header of a report. To do this I need to parse a blob picture to be displayed in Header. And this can be done with SetData and GetData. The problem is SetData and GetData deal with String data type.

I do not know how to convert from String back to Blob to be displayed in Report Footer. I have tried several of the conversion functions such a CByte, but it does not work.

convert it to base64 and back, just like images.

Do you mean:

For SetData-->

=Code.SetData(Cstr(Convert.ToBase64String(Fields!CompInfoPicture.Value)) + Chr(177) +

Then I assume for GetData it is just:

=Convert.ToBase64String(Code.GetData(1, 1))

???

yeah

Nope. It does not work.

of course for get data you need to convert FROM base 64.

Inspect a standard report which shows a bitmap like the logo of report 206. You'll come accross any piece of code you need. Just substitute your values.
