How to show images on an RDLC report

• I have an RDLC report and would like one of the columns in a table on this report to display images. The datasource for my report is a class that has a property called Image of type System.Drawing.Image. On my report I dragged an image control onto the column and I set the following properties: MIMEType: image/png Source: Database Value: =Fields!Image.Value When I run my report, I get a broken image. I'd really appreciate any suggestions! Thanks in advance :o)

  I don't know if this is the best solution, but I got it to work. It looks like the problem was in using System.Drawing.Image. In my class, I created a new property called ImageByte of type byte[]. I didn't make a setter for ImageByte, but I made a getter that does the following: MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(); Image.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png); return ms.ToArray(); I updated my report to have =Fields!ImageByte.Value for the Value and now everything appears to be working as expected :o)
