Send Program Resource to Report

m_lyons

Hello everyone!

I am working on a new report and want to display some icons / resources from my application in the report.

Is this possible? I know that I can send file paths to the report and have it load the image in the report, but can I send actual resources? They're very small files, only icons, but there are several of them...

I was playing around with this, but I don't see a function that seems like it would do this, so I wanted to ask on here.

I appreciate the help as always!

Thank you very much, I appreciate your help.

One quick question, is this limited to one resource? I've been working on this today and I can get one to populate in the report, but no more...

I'm going to work on this again tomorrow, maybe I can figure it out. It just seemed odd that the code worked for one image, but not for the other images...

Thanks Again!

it is not limited to one resource, basically, passing image to fastreport as parameter:

            // create parameter
            FastReport.Data.Parameter parameter = new FastReport.Data.Parameter();
            parameter.Name = "Logo";
            parameter.DataType = typeof(Byte[]);
            report.Dictionary.Parameters.Add(parameter);
            report.SetParameterValue("Logo", logo);

            // create another parameter
            FastReport.Data.Parameter another= new FastReport.Data.Parameter();
            another.Name = "Another";
            another.DataType = typeof(Byte[]);
            report.Dictionary.Parameters.Add(another);
            report.SetParameterValue("Another", anotherLogo);

and in report script:

        private void _StartReport(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Image image = Report.GetParameterValue("Logo") as Image;
            Picture1.Image = image;
            Image another = Report.GetParameterValue("Another") as Image;
            Picture2.Image = another;
        }

Thank you very much for your help. I didn't get a chance to work on this as much as I wanted to yesterday, so I spent more time this morning playing around with it.

I was able to get this working, by commenting out the Parameter.Name line like this:

// create parameter
FastReport.Data.Parameter parameter = new FastReport.Data.Parameter();
//parameter.Name = "Logo";
parameter.DataType = typeof(Byte[]);
report.Dictionary.Parameters.Add(parameter);
report.SetParameterValue("Logo", logo);

Not sure why, but with that line included the images weren't displaying in the report. The one that was working had a typo in that line, which is how I noticed this.

Just figured I would let you know, as it seemed a bit strange to me.

But it is working now and I wanted to thank you for your help!
