Embedding picture in local report header

Okay. Simple request. I have a local report in my VS2005 project. I want to embed my company logo in the header. How do I do this? When I put an image item on the page it wants me to put something in the value for this? I've tried sending through a dataset but SSRS can't load data set information into the header! Why is this so complicated? I don't want to embed a dynamic database image, just a static image that will be embedded in my program. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jon

Drag and drop an image control to the page header. Select embedded image. Click New image. Select the image that you want to embed. Then click finish. Build and deploy the report. Voila!

This works fine for .rdl files. For me, the image wizard does not come up for .rdlc files. Does anyone know why this is?

I've noticed this too. That's what prompted my original question. So basically, here is what I've figured out.

1. Click on Reports > Embedded Images.

2. Add your new image, remember what you named it.

3. Add an image to your report.

4. Click on the image.

5. Change the Source property to 'Embedded'

6. Change the value property to the name of your embedded image.

That's it! I'm still not sure why the wizard doesn't work.

embedded images in the report

We have company logo stored as an "embedded image" in the rdl file. When the
report is deployed to the production server, the logo is not displayed in
the Report Manager.
What all steps are required to deploy reports with embedded images?
pls. help.
ThanksHi newmem,
I have had the same problem. I have found out that my IE 6.0 causes the
error in my case. After switching the IE options "check for newer version of
stored html pages" from "automatically" to "every visit to the page"
everything works fine...
your way: IE -> Internet Options > Settings
I identified the IE because every output format displays the company logo
correctly (PDF...) and only the default and html format was wrong...

Embedded Images ....

Hi...
How can I setup the reports so that they do not require the images to be
Embedded? Meaning, I want to pull a logo from the Images folder but it's not
letting me. I realize that I can hack the XML but when reviewing that it
appears as if the image doesn't exist just the name of the image.
Thanks!Can you provide me an example of the URL approach? I might be a little blind
but I'm not seeing it or an example in my book.

Embedded image does not appear

Hi there!

I've an embedded image (logo) in my report, and in the preview it looks wonderful, but after deploy the logo doesnt appear in the report (report server).

The url of the dead-link-image is http://hamsql1/Reports$BI/Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd?.

I thought that an embedded image is stored "in" the report, but it seems to be an other place. Is it nessecary to deploy an embedded image too? Is it a problem of permissions (i read it in another threat)? How to set these image-see-permission? Or is there an other problem?

Every idea is very welcome!

Thanks,

Torsten

Some new informations:

The imported image is an printable image with 300 dpi. These image does not appear in the report. Another image, 72dpi, appears. Is it possible, that the render is not able to render 300 dpi?

Hello,

What version of Reporting Services are you running? Have you applied the latest service pack? If you go to http://<server>/ReportServer and look in the bottom right you will see the version number.

Also, are both images embedded? Are they both the same image type (gif, jpg, etc.)? Are either of them scaled? Is the sizing option on both set the same?

Try building a new blank report and embedding both images using the wizard defaults. Does it work then?

HI Larry!

I've Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services, Version 9.00.3042.00, SP2, running on Win 2003 Server 64 Bit.

Both images are embedded, both are jpg. I tried both, scaled and nonscaled, it seems there is no dependency on scaling or not.

I tried it in a blank report, and again, the 300dpi image does not appear, the 72dpi image is okay.

Hello Torsten,

You are running on SP2 Original (http://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/sjones/2960.asp) and I have tested on a 32 bit Win 2003 with the same version of SSRS and don't see the problem. I will have to wait until I get home to test the 64 bit versions. Can you share your images with me? It could be image specific. My email is larry at smithmier dot com.

Thanks,

Larry

Hi Larry!

Could you reproduce it?

Torsten

Hello,

Yes, I received your report and images and reproduced it locally (even on a 32 bit machine). I fixed the problem by resaving the JPG as a new file using Paint.NET (http://www.getpaint.net/) and re-embedding it. I am looking at the file itself to see if I can figure out what went wrong, but for now, you should be fine with the new image. I am emailing it back to you.

Larry
