Hi everybody,
I need to rotate an image, in my case is a barcode.
I tried to create the following function in Custom Code section into the report:
Public Sub RotateFlip (
rotateFlipType As System.Drawing.RotateFlipType
)
End Sub

Dim PictureBox As System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox

Public Function RotateImage(ByVal Barcode As System.Drawing.Bitmap)
If Barcode IsNot Nothing Then
Barcode.RotateFlip(System.Drawing.RotateFlipType.Rotate180FlipY)
End If
End Function
But it doesn't work.

    assign the barcode image to the picturebox
    add line: PictureBox1.Image = barcode;
    under line: Barcode.RotateFlip(System.Drawing.RotateFlipType.Rotate180FlipY)

    PictureBox1 should be an image control in the report.

    Thanks archer89, I added the line you told me.
    Since I have two barcodes, I added also a pictureBox parameter to the function as you can see below:
    Public Sub RotateFlip (
    rotateFlipType As System.Drawing.RotateFlipType
    )
    End Sub

    Public Function RotateImage(ByVal Barcode As System.Drawing.Bitmap,ByVal PictureBox As System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox)
    If Barcode IsNot Nothing Then
    Barcode.RotateFlip(System.Drawing.RotateFlipType.Rotate90FlipNone)
    PictureBox.Image = Barcode
    End If
    End Function

    Then I call then function in the expression of the image in the following way:

    =Code.RotateImage(Fields!gItem__Blob.Value,ReportItems!Item_BarCode2.Value)

    Where "Item_BarCode2" is the name of the PictureBox into the report's layout.
    But it still appears a red X instead of my rotated barcode.

    Do you know where is the problem?

    Thanks again
    Regards
