CHAPTER 5 IMPLEMENTING DASHBOARD STYLE REPORT OBJECTS
Figure 5-5. Get Image data set propertiesBegin by opening the Image Start.rdl report in the Pro_SSRS project and clicking the Design tab.
Next, select the Image tool from the Toolbox, and click into a blank area of the List data region that is
already set up in this report. As you can see in Figure 5-6, you’re presented with the Image dialog when
you add the Image tool to the list. You can choose several ways to retrieve images. For example, you
could use an image that you’ve added to the project, or you could embed the image directly into the
report. This option would serve you well if the report contained a single image that wouldn’t be used
again and was intended to be distributed to a variety of sources that might not have access to the image
at any other location. Choose Database for the source image. Next, you will choose the data source and
field that contains the image. For this report, choose =Fields!DocumentImage.Value as the value, or as
displayed, [DocumentImage]. Set the MIME type to image/jpeg.
