Hi
I have an oracle database with images stored in it as a blob field. I have a crystal report viewer application written in asp.net that works perfectly except it will not display the images from the database.
I have written a very simple report with crystal reports 13 with 2 fields on it, one the blob and one another field from the same table to make sure the something is returned from the database. If i refresh the report in crystal reports the image is displayed as expected. If i use the same report file in the asp.net viewer then it just displays white space in place of the image. The other string field is displayed fine.
What I have tried:
I have verified that the crystalimagehandler is working ok as i can put boarders around fields on the report and the image handler correctly displays these.
I have tried different settings for the image handler in the httphandler and handler sections of the web.config file. This didnt help other than verifying that when i had the wrong settings the crystalimagehandler failed to display the doarder around my string field and the images showed as broken links on the web page.
I have tried saving the image file into the database as a gif, tiff, jpg and bmp but the result is the same for all formats.
I have read numerous blog posts from across the internet but even though I have found similar issues I cant find a solution.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
