How to show images from database in a rdlc report in a windows form application

Question

In a windows form application i am trying to show images from database in a rdlc report. In the database i have stored the image path and in rdlc report i have used image with source as "database" and MIME type as "image/png" but after running the report is show red cross signed images instead of original images.

I have verified the images path, and also in windows forms the images are showing correctly with the exact same path.

Answer 1

Instead of selecting image source as "Database" i have set it to " External " and also enabled _reportViewer.LocalReport.EnableExternalImages = true; and used file:/// before the image path and it worked for me.
