showing a picture in a datawindow

[anneoctaaf]

what i want to do is show a picture in a database. The debugger gets to this line...
This.Object.picture_name[li_Row] = String(llvi_Item.Data)

which gives the following error

application terminated
error typemismatch accessing external object property picture_name at line 74 in dragdrop event of object dw_details of w_details

I checked my dw dw_details, but it has a columnname picture_name, so i have no idea why it won't work.

PLEASE HELP!

check the data type of source column for "picture_name" in Dataobject definition

In your case this should be of string type

Thanx Leyka,

The datatype is an integer, which is strange, since the data source syas the data type is varchar(50).

Is there a way to change rthe datatype, because i tries to delete the field and reselect it again, but the data type keeps being an integer...

Groet uit HollanD!

You may wish to go through the tried and true Powerbuilder method of rebuilding the datawindow object from scratch. Often this is what it takes to 'fix' these types of issues.

This is very strange...

Do you use a DB-Select as datasource?
Can you show it?
