I am not able to see any image on Crystal Report at Run time.
So how can I load any image which is saved in local disk so
that it can be viewed at Runtime in Crystal reports?

Answer Posted / vishu

try {
// here i have define a simple datatable inwhich
image will recide
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
// object of data row
DataRow drow;
// add the column in table to store the image of
Byte array type
dt.Columns.Add("Image", System.Type.GetType
("System.Byte[]"));
drow = dt.NewRow;
// define the filestream object to read the image
FileStream fs;
// define te binary reader to read the bytes of
image
BinaryReader br;
// check the existance of image
if (File.Exists
(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "10157.Jpg")) {
// open image in file stream
fs = new FileStream
(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "10157.Jpg",
FileMode.Open);
}
else {
// if phot does not exist show the nophoto.jpg
file
fs = new FileStream
(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "NoPhoto.jpg",
FileMode.Open);
}
// initialise the binary reader from file
streamobject
br = new BinaryReader(fs);
// define the byte array of filelength
byte[] imgbyte = new byte[fs.Length + 1];
// read the bytes from the binary reader
imgbyte = br.ReadBytes(Convert.ToInt32
((fs.Length)));
drow(0) = imgbyte;
// add the image in bytearray
dt.Rows.Add(drow);
// add row into the datatable
br.Close();
// close the binary reader
fs.Close();
// close the file stream
CrystalReport1 rptobj = new CrystalReport1();
// object of crystal report
rptobj.SetDataSource(dt);
// set the datasource of crystalreport object
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rptobj;
//set the report source
}
catch (Exception ex) {
// error handling
Interaction.MsgBox("Missing 10157.jpg or
nophoto.jpg in application folder");
}
