How to load an image at run time dynamically using crystall report viewer and visual studio 2008?

Hi,

i am using crystal report 11 for designing reports, however i am programming in visual studio 2008 using crystal report viewer to load report at run time. I am storing image at a specific location in my computer and then loading it to crystal report 11.

it is working in crystal report 11 both designing time and loading time, however it is not loading during runtime  in crystal report viewer 9.0.

What are the solutions?

Thanks in Advance.

Dynamic image location was new in CR11.  So i don't imagine that the V9 viewer would handle it.

Agree with peter.

WHy are you using the CR v9 viewer for a CR XI report?

Ok how to update crystal viewer to 11 in my visual studio 2008.
Which edition of CR XI do you have?
Pro, or designer?

mlmcc
it is professional
You need the DEVELOPER edition to have the viewer you can embed in an application.

mlmcc
how can i get that?
You would have to upgrade through a reseller or SAP/Crystal.

mlmcc
Is it free?
NO.  It is a commercial product and requires licensing.

have you seen my link to pass the image using a dataset?
The embed method will work if you use the version of Crystal that comes with VS2008, however that is still based on CR10 so some features from a CR XI report may not be avaliable like dynamic parameters.
