I'm trying to make a report in BIDS (2008) that will include external images. We want to use the report to proof the images & other info before we approve our flyer for printing. I've done a bit of searching, but haven't gotten the help I need yet. The path to the images will be image specific, like "\\NETWORKSERVER\ServerD\Docs\Flyer's Images\Quarterly Flyer\ImageName.png" The URL works fine when I paste it in the search bar of my local pc or the server that has BIDS installed on it, but the report will not display the image. When I add an image to the textbox, how do I set it up so that it displays the image when I run the report? The images are on a different server than the reporting server.
This should be possible but you will just have to format the link correctly and ensure that the execution account for the SSRS server actual has access to that network location.

I am coding some basic html code just to display an image banner to our OBIEE dashboard but failed to do so. I am a newbie in terms of programming so feel free to correct me in anyway. So, here's the detail.
I am currently working in the static text layout where the old banner was coded, I remove them and replace with a basic code that only import an image see here.
*Oracle Business Intelligence 12.2.1.4.0
I have tried coding it thru HTML,CSS, & Javascript those only the few I basically know. I did my research and follow some tutorials but no glimpse of hope to it, it does work when I relay the output in a browser while coding it in Visual Studio.
What I want is just to display it successfully and not to show a image icon. Hope someone can help me out. Thank You :)
I am struggling to comprehend where Visual Studio comes into this but assuming you want to just have an image on a dashboard then there are lots of options
It looks like you are trying to insert a remote image which is going to cause all sorts of security issues that are likely to mean it will get blocked.
The simplest is to just add a "link or Image" object and use a local image. If you click on the select image button there is an option to upload image and select it for display.
If you want to use html then you just need to add a text object and add the img html
<img src="https://someurl.com/img.jpg" />
but you are going to need to change lot of security policies to allow the content to be displayed.
There are other options to host the file locally such as a shared folder (https://gianniceresa.com/2017/02/obiee-12c-custom-style-using-shared-folder/) but the upload is far simpler.
If you insist of using a remote image you will need to understand security policies (CSP, XSS etc.) which aren't OBIEE specific but standard web server
I'm trying to show images in SSRS based on a URL. Everything works great in Visual Studio when I preview, but when I publish the report, the images are totally blank--not even giving the little red "X".
I can display embedded images just fine, but external images from URLs show up blank.
My images are publicly hosted, so it shouldn't be a permissions issue. Here's an example of a hosted image:
https://az620379.vo.msecnd.net/images/Contracts/small_bb363d73-5c1f-4178-8702-7a5a0e26d19e.jpg
Most of the solutions I've seen consist of saving the images to a file and then referencing the filepath (here's one: SSRS - How to show external image based on URL inside column).
Is my problem a firewall issue? If so, how do I find the firewall to make my images show up on the Server?
Right-clicking on where the image should appear shows there is an image there (see below), but when I actually click the link it returns a tiny white square (see second pic).
Image can be inserted into Details section of Work Item in TFS using Insert Image button. Is it possible to change final hyperlink to image ?
Issue is that we are using VPN in order to access TFS and hyperlinks to images do not have the full path with the domain that we need to see it directly in the WI itself.
If is possible to do some configuration changes for this ?
For the local image, now within TFS under the "History" tab where you're inserting your image. It will automatically displays as an image directly. PS: I'm using VS2015
For the online image, it's impossible now. You can only view the hyperlinks or save it as local then update it. Please refer this user voice: https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/330519-team-services/suggestions/2037677-copy-and-paste-screenshots-into-work-items
I'm building a report in the report designer from Visual Studio 2013. There is a section in the report where I need to add an image, this image has to be data-bound (I already achieved this). The only problem is, that sometime this image has a null value, so no image is been rendered. If that happen I supposed to display an image that says "Coming Soon", the only problem is this image is not in the data base, so I have to add it from the archive directly.
My question is:
Is there a way to change how I add an image to a report during execution?
I mean, Can I have an expression to set a different source instead of a Database, either Embedded or External?
I will appreciate any help.
Ultimately you are looking for a dynamic image; I recommend setting to External and in the image source field, create an expression with an IsNothing check against your image source path (assuming it is the path you are supplying and not the image itself).
For example: Iif(IsNothing(Fields!ImageSource.Value), "ComingSoonImagePathOrName", Fields!ImageSource.Value)
A similar question and solution was presented here: Want to show dynamic image in SSRS report
Are there specific requirements for images that are to be inserted into CR?
I’m trying to insert an image into Crystal reports, but nothing happens after I select my file. I have a different image that I’ve used for testing that inserts with no problems so I’m assuming that it has something to do with the JPG file settings when saving the image. Note that this is just a static logo for a page header – nothing is being dynamically loaded.
I know that GIFs cannot be used, so I’ve tried JPG and PNG to no avail. I’ve even saved my “working” image again through Photoshop and it will insert. I’ve then used those settings to save the non-working image, but that image wont insert. I’ve used Crystal Reports a lot in the past and this is the first time I’ve come across this issue and my searches lead me to a variety of resources for dynamic image inclusion, but nothing to for this hopefully simple issue.
I’m using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010.

After messing with this problem all day, I found out it’s a bug in the Crystal Reports IDE.
Here’s how to duplicate the issue:
Right click on your report and select Insert >> Picture
Double-click on the image that you wish to insert.
Depending on your image and how the image was saved in Photoshop, it may or may not insert into the report. I’ve had mixed results and apparently some images work and some do not. I haven’t quite figured out the pattern yet, but I believe it has to do with the color profiles of the image. I probably won’t waste any more time investigating it, because the following resolution has worked for me every time and I can import every image that I’ve created in Photoshop regardless of how the image was saved and the settings used to save the images. (Assuming that they’re all JPGs, of course.)
Resolution:
Right click on your report and select Insert >> Picture
SINGLE-click on the image that you wish to insert to select it.
Click “Open”
The image should insert into the report properly.
It’s a subtle difference, but I hope this saves someone else a few hours of debugging.

Worked AOK for me. Check if you have all the latest patches. I've attached a screenshot in Crystal 2011 and saved the .rpt for you to try and open in Visual Studio 2010: http://speedy.sh/RGgfg/crimages.zip
The reason is because the format is not supported, I had exactly the same problem but when I saved the file as JPG it started working perfectly!.
i think crytal report does not accept some image formats but what i did when i encountered the problem was to
1. open the image with coreldraw
2. copy the image content of the image and paste it in the crystal report instead of using the insert tool on crystal report and it worked
hope this will also be helpul.
