sql server reporting services: Have you tried converting your WMF files into one of the supported formats?
The supported formats are bmp, jpg, gif, png and jpeg.

problem with images on the report

Hello All,

I am using Image control with database sourced images on my reports. The
images are stored in WMF format.

There is no problem when the report is viewed in web browser but when I
export it as a PDF or TIFF, the images are not shown and a cross (X) is
shown instead of the image.

Has anyone faced the same problem? Any help is solving this?

Regards,
Atif

I have also tried to convert the WMF files to PNG, which is the only
accepted format for my application and web, this gives me a different
behavior. The reports look fine in the preview and I am also able to
generate a correct PDF from the preview window but not showing images when I
open the report in the web browser.

Regards,
Atif

Just to explain how am I converting the images, images are still in WMF
format in the DB, I am using a C# assembly to convert the images using a
function at runtime. The function takes image field from DB as parameter and
returns the converted PNG image. This is written as an expression in the
value property of image control.

I have a similar situation, but rather than convert the images on the fly, I
convert the images in a batch and put back into the database. In my case the
images show correctly (PNG) in preview but not in HTML. If I export to PDF
they show ok. There seem to be others with this problem as well. I hope
someone from MS will address this issue because it is stopping me from
deploying RS is several situations.
Thanks.
