Change CR image with code

[LonnieJohnson]

Here's a tricky one. Does anyone have any idea how to change an image on a Crystal Report via code?

I have an application that I am building in VS2005 (code behind is vb). I have a report that I want to use code to change the picture based on the recordid. The pictures are stored on a network file.

Anybody, somebody, help me please.

Why not pull the back the URL from your SQL, then you don't have to do it in the code behind?

Thanks. Ok I can go with that.

So you are saying put the path of the pic in the datasource? How do I use that for the picture? The picture object in the VS2005 version of CR does not seem to have a lot of properties to work with.

Thanks again for a quick response as usual jbenson001.

It's been a long time since I have used CR. I'm sure there's got to be somewhere you can give it the source for the pic. If not, if it is a simple report, you can create it yourself using a repeater and an image control.

Hi,
You can turn any text formula into a hyperlink in CR so you should be able to create a <href - type image link that way...

Thanks Turkbear,

I don't do much in CR in the VS2005. Can you give me an example of the text formula you speak of.

Thanks again.
