Crystal Reports: Dynamic Images
2 Comments · Posted by Craig Buchanan in Crystal Reports, Technique
Use a conditional formula to dynamically change the location of a report’s image.
- Add an image to the report (Insert | Picture). This image will act as a placeholder. Ensure that the placeholder is the same size as the one that will be dynamically loaded, otherwise the image will be scaled.
- Change the image’s Graphic Location:
- right click image
- select Format Graphic…
- select Picture tab
- click the conditional-formula button (looks like x+2)
- set the formula’s text to the name of the formula or parameter field that will contain the image’s URL
- save the formula and click the OK button
- Save the report

Hi,
I found your website from the answer submitted by you for question “Convertion of crystal reports to SSRS Report” in Stackoverflow.com.
I am looking for a option to develop a tool in VB.NET which would convert Crystal report object model to SSRS RDL model.
Hope you would help me in doing this. If you are interested in developing this, please let me know.
Best Regards
Gowtham

I am working on Visual Studio 2008 and My Crystal Report(10.5) Designer toolbox controls does not contain any control that serve as Image placeholder, instead if I use a picture control, it adds the image statically as an OLE control and does not allow me to change the URL dynamically.
please guide.
