i need to display the image that has been created within the report.

i have a web application created with vb.net

this application can be access by many different users at the same time

each user select various options and runs a query to retrieve data from an
inSQL server

depending on what they have defined a teeChart line chart image is created
and stored in the application folder on the server named [username].jpeg

a crystal report is created and the data retrieved is displayed in the
report

i don't want to use the line chart from crystal reports.

i need to display the image that has been created within the report.

both the report and the image are created at runtime.

there must be a way of creating an OLE object and defining it to the
sertver.mappath(username).jpeg file.

i know that is possible with different versions of crystal reports using
the RDC (Report Design Component).

BUT I AM USING CRYSTAL REPORT FOR VISUAL STUDIO .NET!

can it be done?

thanks
Tom

ps, only shouting because this is becoming v. URGENT and i can't find a way! :(:(:(:(

please help, if you need any more info just ask

thanks again.
tom

didn't this help?

VB Code:

Dim graph As New CrystalDecisions.Web.HtmlReportRender.CrystalHtmlTextWriter(Web.HtmlReportRender.HtmlOutputSchema.Html32)
graph.Write("<img border='0' src='The_Path_To_Your_Pic_File' width='400' height='400'>")

the blue underline appered under the web in:
CrystalHtmlTextWriter(Web .HtmlReportRender

what do i need to import?

VB Code:

Imports CrystalDecisions.Web
 
...
Dim graph As New CrystalDecisions.Web.HtmlReportRender.CrystalHtmlTextWriter(HtmlReportRender.HtmlOutputSchema.Html32)
graph.Write("<img border='0' src='The_Path_To_Your_Pic_File' width='400' height='400'>")

As i said in the other post, its just a raw idea and not tested. Please test it and let me know the results.

By the way, I wonder if you can deploy reports of crystal reports in web forms without the need of buying liscence.

this problem took a long time to slove, but i was looking the the wrong direction.

this is what i did

i wrote the image that is created into the sql server,
then loaded the image into a dataset,
used this dataset as the source for the crystal report.

used this information to write into the database;How to write/read text/image to/from sql database

Thanks
