Problems displaying pictures from Navision in .NET.

svavar

Hello,

I am new to Navision and I have been asked to write a .NET solution that reads item data from the Navision Database (SQL Server 2000) and displays it on the web.

This is going well except that I cannot get the pictures to display properly.

I have added a BMP to an item but when I retieve it from the database and display it in the browser it is not a valid image.

I should note that the Picture field is an 'image', not a BLOB. Could this be causing my problems? The pictures display fine in Navision.

In my frustration I created a .NET upload form and manually added a BMP to the database. Navision refuses to display it, instead returning an error about a BLOB field with bad data (the actual error message is in Icelandic).

Any ideas?

Thanks!

hello svavar
My guess is that Navision compresses the bitmap before storing it in the record. They probably using zip compression. There is no documentation on this .
