Question

how can i add a .jpg file in local report in c# withour storing the pics in database

Answer 1

I'm not a 100% sure what you mean by "local report in C#" but I would hazard a guess and suggest you add the picture file to the image resources of your project.

Answer 2

When you are designing your report in Visual Studio click on Report from the menu bar and then Embedded images. Select the image you want and click ok. Next from the toolbar add a new image onto the report. Goto the properties of that image and select Source as Embedded. The Value property will now contain the image you just embedded into the report.

Answer 3

There are three ways to get an image on a Microsoft Reporting Document.

Database
Embedded
External

I guess you know how do database by your question. Chalkey gives a great example of how to do an embedded image. (This is the approach I generally take.) Finally there are external images. For external you can set the property on the image to external and either refernece a file path or even a url in the value property. Lastly you have set the external image property too in code:

i.e. reportViewer1.LocalReport.EnableExternalImages = true;

Hope that helps.
