I get images from TFS client in the following format :

I added an image control to a table cell and set the image source as External and value as

However, it just shows a red cross.
I tried this on a WPF application using a image control and it is working fine. How can I set the image value in SSRS report?

I'm trying to display images on an SSRS Report. The images are stored in attachments within a notes section.
I tried with both MIME Type JPEG and PNG but nothing works.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Image field inserted in the report:
Image Properties :
Results after running the report:
On the Report Object itself you need to calculate the picture by using CALCFIELDS. Otherwise it will always appear empty.
Some days ago I had to modify a SSRS Report in order to add another group. That Report contains a Chart which before this change was properly shown, but now, In the Web Report Viewer It looks ok.
But when exporting to Excel (xls), The Chart looks like to be compacted:
And the user has to expand at least the groups that are aligned with the chart in order to see It well.
I tried to create a Subreport with only the chart embedded, also tried to put the chart inside a rectangle but none of those solutions worked.
In Excel there is a property for the images to indicate not moving nor sizing with cells and It does the trick but I cannot see the property in the Chart stuff.
Do you know how to have the graph displayed properly without having to expand the groups?
I'm working with SSRS 2008 R2.
Just put a rectangle on your report then cut the chart, click in the rectangle and paste it in. That will stop it trying to align with the table.
It's important that you don't just drag the chart onto the rectangle. You must cut and paste it in.
I am trying to display data on top of image and can't use watermark/background image for the scenario. In crystal we can use data on top of image and set the property for image gobackward and for data fields cometofront, so that it will display the image and data together. But in SSRS the data is displaying below the image. Please help me to display the data on top of image, and I have multiple images to the displayed in a single report with data.
Right click on the cell that you want an image in. Then Click properties. Then click fill. Then change image source to 'embedded'. Then import your image.
I want to show an image on my report if that image exists in the database for the person record displaying on the report. However, if that person record does not have an image, I want to display an embedded image in the exact location where the database image would be. When I put them on top of each other and toggle the visibility based on an expression, SSRS seems to be "holding" the space for the image which is hidden. For example, if the embedded image is on top of the database image on the report and the embedded image is set to hidden SSRS will show a blank space to the right of the visible image.
I have tried to put the images in a table and toggle the columns without luck and played around with the image settings (AutoFit, Clip, etc). It does not look like we can use an expression because they are of different types (embedded vs. database). Is there any way to do this beyond putting the embedded image in the database?
The way we got this to work is to create a Tablix and then toggle the column visibility. It is interesting that the Tablix works differently than a Table, but it does.
We found this which discusses the issue:

Put a rectangle object in the cell of the table so that you can have free form placement of the image item. Add a default embedded image into your rdl, call it defaultImage. Since the data type from the database will be a byte[], in order for you to check if the database field value is null, your visibility expression on the default embedded image will be:
=Not(IsNothing(Fields!{FieldName}.Value))
Now that your default image will hide when there is a field value from the database. Place a new image object on top of the default image, same size. This image will use the database field value directly, no suppression needed. When the byte[] is empty the database image will not show, and the embedded (default image) will show.
Using the Report designer in Visual Studio, I dragged and dropped a an Image control over onto the header but I'm lost as to what to do next. I need to choose the Source which gives me a choice between External, Embedded, Database and custom expression. I also have a Value property but it didn't prompt me to choose a file.
Any ideas?
On your Report Data view box (Where the report parameters, datasets etc) are shown, there is also a folder for Images.
Right click that and add the image you want.
Now when you use your image control you can choose Embedded and drop down any of the imagess included in the Images folder.
The External source is good for adding in a URL to the image and database is when the image is stored in one of your datasets.
Here is the solution if the report data view screen is missing
I found a way to do this:
If I open the report and give the focus to the report form (not one of the controls), I get a new menu item called Report at the top of Visual Studio. Open the Embedded Images... dialog and I can add a new image there. Then close that dialog and give focus to the image control that I want to have the static image. I can set its value property to one of the embedded images that I have added using the Embedded Images dialog.
