Dynamic Images

Former Member
0 Kudos

I am migrating an app from the version 9 RDC to 2008 .Net and I am having trouble with dynamic images. In the RDC, I was able to set up events that ran for each section that allowed me to dynamically assign an image to an image object and resize it at the same time. The images are at the detail level, so each record will have a different image.

With .Net, those events are not available, so I am having to rework how images are displayed.

I have changed the picture objects to use the Graphic Location property, which is assigned to a database field. This database field contains a path to the image.

This works great, except that each image can be of a different size and shape. If I set can-grow on, then the image could be too big to fit into the space allowed. With it turned off, the image will be stretched and skewed if it does match up to how the object was designed.

Any thoughts as to how to solve this problem?

I have debated whether or not to spend the $200 and open up a one-time support call with Crystal, but I don't want to spend the money if the answer is - you can't do that.

Any help would be most appreciative.

You can do it, but you will have to use InProc RAS. See [this|; forum thread for more details.

It appears that I do not have the necessary SDK and I can't seem to find it on the web site.

You mentioned that you are going from "9 RDC to 2008". I assumed this would be CR 2008 (v 12.x)? This version of CR will install the SDK. If by "2008" you mean .NET 2008, then you do not have the SDK and it is not available as a download. You will have to upgrade to CR 2008.

I have CR 2008 installed on my machine, but when I go to add the RAS namespaces to a VS 2008 .NET project, they are not recognized.

I was able to get the RAS components going in the Visual Studio...now I just need to get it coded.

My last question: Is there a different run-time deployable for the RAS components, or are they installed with the run-time installation of CR2008?
