Hello,
This is my first time posting here any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am running Visual Studio 2010 SP1 using VB.Net running C1StudioNet_2012v3.msi for reports.
I have inserted a picture into a report that I want to make dynamic by pushing a parameter. The issue that I get is when I add a parameter to the Graphic Location on the Format Object of the picture, I cannot save the change. When I try to save the change VB.Net stops responding and then crashes. I know this is what is causing the issue because I can take away the parameter and just add a path to the Graphic Location I have no issues. I can also not save the report run the program and pass the parameter programmatically without an issue but it will not save.
Thank You up front for any help

what I have seen done is to push the data to the report (have you middle tier create the data from a stored proc or just build a table) then set the datasource to your dataset/datatable from the middle tier. In Crystal, it would use the ADO.Net connection.
Now the spiffy part...in the datatable/dataset, embed your graphic. Now Crystal just takes the graphic out of the dataset, and it can be dynamic...without Crystal being concerned.
The biggest problem is that there are no facilities in Crystal to change the size of the graphic, so it may appear stretched if the graphics don't have the same size as the graphic used to design the report.
