Question

Is it possible to add a dynamic picture to a parameter in rdlc report?
for example:

=SWITCH(Parameters!picture.Value="1","picture1.jpg",
        Parameters!picture.Value="2","picture2.png")

or something similar?

or any other way to use the parameter’s value to be the guide for the dynamic picture?

Answer 1

Yes this is possible. See this blog entry for a good explanation.

In short do the following:

• Set the picture’s Source property to the value External
• Set the picture’s Value property to an expression like =Parameters!PathToPicture.Value
• Set the EnableExternalImages property of the ReportViewer or the LocalReport object to true
