The EnableExternalImages property has not been set for this report vs2015

Question

Hi,

Would appreciate the help.

I have added an image to my report which i want to be dynamic.  When I run the report i get the following error:

• An error occurred during local report processing.
  • Report 'HanmakaReport' contains external images. The EnableExternalImages property has not been set for this report.  

vb.net code

    Public Sub InitReport()
        Dim MeetingDS As DataSet = Me.GetReport  
        reportViewer1.Reset()
        reportViewer1.LocalReport.ReportPath = "Test\Report.rdlc"
        Me.reportViewer1.LocalReport.EnableExternalImages = True
        reportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(New ReportDataSource("DsMembersDetails", MeetingDS.Tables(0)))
        reportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(New ReportDataSource("DsTable1", MeetingDS.Tables(1)))
        reportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(New ReportDataSource("DsTable2", MeetingDS.Tables(2)))
        reportViewer1.ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Local
         Dim templateImage = "file:///C:\Work\websites\SourceSafe\test\test\images\question9.jpg"
        reportViewer1.LocalReport.SetParameters(New ReportParameter("ImagePath", templateImage))
    End Sub

This is what I did:

The image expression is: = Parameters!ImagePath.Value

Hi,

Select embed and upload the pic it will work.

Or set the property to true on the reportviewer control, if you trust the image source.

Hi Collie,

According to your description, you need to display a dynamic image in your reportviewer control, right?

You can add either embedded or external images.

• With an embedded image, the source file is compiled as part of the report. If a report only uses embedded images, then you can set the EnableExternalImages property to No.

• With an external image, the source file is stored outside of the report in a location that must be accessible from the RoleTailored client, such as on a file server or local computer. The image is referenced from the report and loads when the report opens. To use external images on a report, the EnableExternalImages property must be set to Yes.
