Image (Base64) to display in Crystal Reports (C#) from XML
Good day
I have read on here some explanations of how to get this done (in VB), but to no avail.
First of all, this is my first time I'm using Crystal Reports. I'm using VS 2008 with CR.
I have written a PDA application that gives me an xml output with 2 signature(image) fields, which is converted to base 64 inside my xml file. I want to get these fields converted back to the picture format on CR.
I have access to all my fields, but when it comes to these two signatures, the output is the long base64 code.
I know you have to Dynamically write & save... but can you provide me with the steps I shoudl follow in order to achieve this successfully? Where/How do I begin? Should I first convert the 2 fields, then do the rest of my program?
Thanking you,

Hi John
Glad to see you're helping me again. Apologies for the delay on this.
I looke dinto these solutions mentioned, but I can't even seem to run this example. It gives me an error.
Anyway, the example is also relating to making a file binary. All I want to do is "transform" a field/node in an xml file from binary.
Any other direction?

I re-asked the question because it was dormant in this form.
I got help from an expert by changing my question.

I stoped using CR for some reason (Don't ask me why)
