Hi all, I've got a report that shows images for products in the details section. Not all products have images. I'm pushing the images into a dataset in C#. All the images are set to be the same size in C#. I want the section size to be as big as the image when there is one and as small as a line of text when there isn't. I can programatically set the row height but it's for all rows and if it is smaller than the defined image size on the report I get an error. If I make the image really small and set it to can grow... well it doesn't grow and I get tiny images on the report. Any help would be appreciated. David. |

Got it  .... kind of.  I created another detail section below the first and put my images there. I suppress it if the file path length is 0. I then checked 'underlay following section' which puts the item number and the image side by side. Yay! Well kind of. Now the only issue I have is when the 2 sections split over 2 pages. Keep together doesn't seem to work. Once again any help would be appreciated. David. |

| maybe you can try some third party http://www.rasteredge.com/how-to/vb-net-imaging/imaging-processing/ - image processing programmes to http://www.rasteredge.com/how-to/vb-net-imaging/resize-image/ - resize images , they can make things much eaiser and some of them are not quite expensive. |

| The image wasn't the problem. I could re-size the image. It was the row height that was the issue. I couldn't have dynamic row heights, if there was no image then I wanted the row to be the size of the text. I've since moved to MS Reporting Services which can do this. |
