Hi all,

I have written an application which deploys reports and recources to a Reporting Services server via the ReportsService2005 web service. All is ok appart from images "External" which do not show on the reports, even though they are published and can be viewed via report manager in isolation. All is ok when deploying to a server via my Visual Studio IDE to a network server and in my dev environment.

Hope this is enough info

Any help appreciated.

how have you given paths of images? have you just given relative path or absolute path?

Hi

Thanks for the reply

The images are published to the same logical folder as the reports. I reference them by name "no path needed" in the reports. By external I meant not embedded in the report or database. I also have an additional rendering part on the app which uses the ReportsService.Render method to stream reports/images to a web app. The images do not show here either. Set an mime type of "*" image/png in iis to allow the streamed images to view. Again, all works ok when deployed via my IDE. Could this be a item security problem?

Kind Regards
Kevin

Please ignore this post now, i have found the problem.

My deployment app was setting the incorrent MimeType for .png images so the reports could not render them. Even though I could view the images from the report manager independantly.

Silly but sore!

Thanks for the responses.

A little while ago now, I know, but can you tell me if your image(s) were referenced by a name/path held in a SQL field?
I'm just not sure how to get my image to change dynamically i.e. a different image depending on what record I'm reading from the database.
TIA
