    Posted: 01 Mar 2012 at 7:15pm
Hi all,

I've got a report that shows images for products in the details section. Not all products have images. I'm pushing the images into a dataset in C#. All the images are set to be the same size in C#. I want the section size to be as big as the image when there is one and as small as a line of text when there isn't.

I can programatically set the row height but it's for all rows and if it is smaller than the defined image size on the report I get an error. If I make the image really small and set it to can grow... well it doesn't grow and I get tiny images on the report.

Any help would be appreciated.

David.

Got it  Clap .... kind of. Confused

I created another detail section below the first and put my images there. I suppress it if the file path length is 0. I then  checked 'underlay following section' which puts the item number and the image side by side.

Yay!

Well kind of. Now the only issue I have is when the 2 sections split over 2 pages. Keep together doesn't seem to work.

Once again any help would be appreciated.

David.

maybe you can try some third party image processing programmes to resize images , they can make things much eaiser and some of them are not quite expensive.

The image wasn't the problem. I could re-size the image. It was the row height that was the issue. I couldn't have dynamic row heights, if there was no image then I wanted the row to be the size of the text. I've since moved to MS Reporting Services which can do this.
