I have one simple report in which I display company information.
In my sql database I have a CompanyMaster table in which i have one column Company Logo. In that column I only store the path of the company logo image.
Now i want to display company logo in report with company information,
How do I do this?
You could use Image control in rdlc file. Common approach is to write an Webservice that returns the Image content. So your Image URL will point to web service URL.
You webserivce class needs to inherit ImageHandler as follows:
<%# WebHandler Language="C#" Class="ServeImage" %>
using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
using Microsoft.Web;
using MyControllers;
public class ServeImage : ImageHandler {
public ServeImage()
{
}
public override ImageInfo GenerateImage(System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection parameters)
{
ImageInfo retVal = null;
if (parameters["ID"] != null)
{
MyController myCntl = new MyController();
// myCntl.GetImageFromDB returns the binary[] content from database
retVal = new ImageInfo(myCntl.GetImageFromDB(parameters["ID"]));
}
return retVal;
}
}
Ok.. I think, I should be sorry for making you click on to an another page. Time for steps.
1.) EnableExternaImages= true for your sample report.
2.) Insert an image in your Report. Set the image source as external.
3.) Enter the expression in "use this image".
4.) Enter the value of your image file link that is saved in Database eg . of such expression is : "file:/// " + First(Fields!Imagelink.Value, "DataSet1") + ".jpeg"
5.) Important thing is that your Imagelink value must be the complete path to that image.
Note use "file:///" before the link.
6.) Any more issue please comeback and ask again. :-)
1- Create Text Parameter
2- Add Image Control to the Report
3- Set the Image to be External external and set "Use this image" to be the
parameter: [#ParameterName].
4- Finally Set the Parameter Value in Code behind before loading the report.

I've been searching the internet and trying various methods to save a picturbox image to the the id3 Album picture tag. One sample code says the Album cover tag name is taglib.ipicture another says taglibVariable.Image and yet another says taglibVariable.picture(0).
I am becoming so confused I'm starting to repeat sample test code.
Where is the documentation that will explain what I have to do.?
What little information I can find are dead links to sample code or incomplete code using variables without explanations. When I look up the commands and try to format or convert to the needed data type, I get an error. Usually system.image.bmp cannot be converted to iPicture.
Can anyone give me some working code or a pointer on how to word the proper search term to add a picturebox.image to the Album picture tag. Saving the image as a file then opening as image to put in tag then deleting file is not an option. I need to create a memory image and add that to the picture tag.
This is what I use:
public void SavePicture(string fileName, string picName) {
try {
IPicture[] pics = new TagLib.IPicture[1];
pics[0] = new TagLib.Picture(picName);
using (var songTag = TagLib.File.Create(fileName)) {
songTag.Tag.Pictures = pics;
songTag.Save();
}
}
catch {
// process
// mpeg header is corrupt
}
}
fileName is the full path to the audio file;
picName is the full path to the picture.
You can add multiple pics by setting the array size for the IPicture array accordingly...
I have a string in my model.The string is actually XML content. I have a link on my page, when clicked it opens a new tab and displays the text as XML.
The result should be the same as when I right click on an xml file and open with Internet Explorer. The difference is that this is no file, its text that I need to display as XML in a new tab.
Anyone have an idea how to achieve this without creating a file and without giving a path to a file.
You could have a controller that will serve this XML and set the proper content type header:
public class MyXMLController: Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
MyModel model = GetModelFromSomewhere(...);
return Content(model.StringPropertyContainingXML, "text/xml");
}
}
now all that's left is to write an anchor link pointing to /myxml/index:
#Html.ActionLink("Click to open XML", "index", "myxml", null, new { _target = "blank" })
Does someone knows a way to create full page screenshots using WebDriver?
I want if one of my tests fails to create a FULL PAGE (even the not visible part on the screen) screenshot before the browser close and save it on share location.
Also, if it is possible I want to output the result to Jenkins Console log.
Thanks!
You can use the following extension for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/fireshot/
You can find its javascript code in %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
The extensions provide the ability to copy the screenshot to the clipboard.
You can use its JS methods to perform the screenshot. After that, you can retrieve the image from the clipboard and save it to as a file on shared location.
Image image = default(Image);
if (Clipboard.GetDataObject() != null)
{
IDataObject data = Clipboard.GetDataObject();
if (data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Bitmap))
{
Image image = (Image)data.GetData(DataFormats.Bitmap,true);
image.Save("image.jpg",System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("The Data In Clipboard is not as image format");
}
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("The Clipboard was empty");
}
string newImageName = string.Concat(#"C:\SampleSharedFolder\", Guid.NewGuid());
image.Save(newImageName );
Console.WriteLine("Image save location: {0}", newImageName);
Once you have populated the result to Console it is really easy to output it back to Jenkins. You can find more in my article: http://automatetheplanet.com/output-mstest-tests-logs-jenkins-console-log/
You can use Snagit to perform full page screenshots. More information here: https://www.techsmith.com/tutorial-snagit-documentation.html
First you need to start the Snagit server and then follow the documentation.
I'm working to refactor a PDF form web application that is using the Active PDF Toolkit and the FDFToolkit from Adobe. My goal is to use iTextSharp to:
Pre-populate the form fields with data from the database
Allow the user to attach a signature and/or barcode image via FDF
Item #1 is not the problem. Item #2 is the biggest challenge. Let me provide some background:
This is a web application which renders the PDF form once. After the initial load, there are 2 key buttons on the form which submit the PDF form to a URL with an action parameter in the query string. These buttons are called "Save" and "Sign". The Save button takes the FDF field dictionary and saves it to the database. The Sign button looks up the signature for the logged-in user and attaches the signature image to the FDF and writes the FDF to the HTTP Response.
The FDFToolkit supports attaching an image to a field using this method:
FDFSetAP(string bstrFieldName, short whichFace, string bstrFileName, short pageNum)
iTextSharp does not offer a comparable method in the FdfWriter class. I've considered subclassing the FdfWriter class and adding my own method to attach an image, but wanted to reach out here to see if anyone has had the same problem.
I have been able to overlay an image on top of a field using this method, but this is in the underlying PDF and not the FDF.
AcroFields.FieldPosition pos = _Stamper.AcroFields.GetFieldPositions("SIGNATUREFIELD").First();
Image signature = Image.GetInstance("Signature.gif");
image.SetAbsolutePosition(pos.position.Left, pos.position.Bottom);
image.ScaleToFit(pos.position.Width, pos.position.Height);
PdfContentByte pcb = _Stamper.GetOverContent(pos.page);
pcb.AddImage(image);
Thanks!
I've put images on forms by using the PdfStamper and making Pushbutton fields. You can replace your existing field with a Pushbutton field and set the Pushbutton to READ_ONLY so that it can't be pressed and it will look like a static image. This will keep the image you're trying to add as a field annotation instead of adding it to the page content.
using (PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(new PdfReader(inputFile), File.Create(outputFile)))
{
AcroFields.FieldPosition fieldPosition = stamper.AcroFields.GetFieldPositions(fieldName)[0];
PushbuttonField imageField = new PushbuttonField(stamper.Writer, fieldPosition.position, fieldName);
imageField.Layout = PushbuttonField.LAYOUT_ICON_ONLY;
imageField.Image = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(imageFile);
imageField.ScaleIcon = PushbuttonField.SCALE_ICON_ALWAYS;
imageField.ProportionalIcon = false;
imageField.Options = BaseField.READ_ONLY;
stamper.AcroFields.RemoveField(fieldName);
stamper.AddAnnotation(imageField.Field, fieldPosition.page);
}
The medical company I work for has a EMR system setup to keep digital copies of patient files so they are searchable as well as quick to access. A new request has come through to be able to save e-mail to the EMR system, however it does not display .msg files very nicely. It does display files nicely as .htm, so was hoping i could figure out a way to save email messages to a specific folder in a .htm format with the user just hitting a single button.
Should i be looking at making an add-in using vs 2010 to do this simple task? Or would there be a better way to do this?
I've explored making an Add-In breifly over the past few days using command bars but have hit numerous problems with adding the menu item to mail items, as well as losing event handlers or having them fire quite a few times, so i'm wondering if i'm barking up the wrong tree.
Edit: Looking at ribbon bar customization as well, may have to upgrade some users that are still using 2003, but seems like it might be the better option than command bars going forward.
Ribbon bar was the best path i found, however i had trouble finding a great how-to for the start-to-finish project, so i'll make a small write up here.
To add a button to the ribbon for only existing mail messages including a image for the button.
Using VS 2010
New project, Office, select "Outlook 2007 add in", enter a name for your project.
To your newly created project, Add a new item "Ribbon (XML)" name it however you want, i'll call it CustomRibbon
open your newly created CustomRibbon.xml file and change the tab node to have the following
<tab idMso="TabReadMessage">
<group insertBeforeMso="GroupActions" id="CustomGroup" label="GroupNameThatShowsInOutlook">
<button id="btnCustomButton"
label = "Text For The Custom Button"
supertip="tip for the button hover"
onAction ="ButtonClicked"
size="large"
getImage="GetCustomButtonImage" />
</group>
</tab>
This then has 2 callback functions to the CustomRibbon.cs file, one called GetCustomButtonImage, the other ButtonClicked.
open CustomRibbon.cs to fill this in, in the Ribbon Callbacks region add the following
public void ButtonClicked(Office.IRibbonControl Control)
{
//Do work here
}
also add the following in the same section
public stdole.IPictureDisp GetCustomButtonImage(Office.IRibbonControl control)
{
System.Drawing.Image myImage;
myImage = OutlookAddIn.Properties.Resources.ImageName;
return AxHostConverter.ImageToPictureDisp(myImage);
}
this will then show there is a class missing, we'll get to that shortly, but first we are going to add in the last part we need in CustomRibbon.cs. In the IRibbonExtensibility Members region, in GetCustomUI change the existing code
public string GetCustomUI(string ribbonID)
{
if (ribbonID == "Microsoft.Outlook.Mail.Read")
{
return GetResourceText("OutlookAddIn.CustomRibbon.xml");
}
else
{
return "";
}
}
Add a new class to your project call it AxHostConverter, add add this to the top
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;
Then change the class to have the following code
class AxHostConverter : AxHost
{
private AxHostConverter() : base("") { }
static public stdole.IPictureDisp ImageToPictureDisp(Image image)
{
return (stdole.IPictureDisp)GetIPictureDispFromPicture(image);
}
static public Image PictureDispToImage(stdole.IPictureDisp pictureDisp)
{
return GetPictureFromIPicture(pictureDisp);
}
}
Add your image for your button to the project, and change the GetCustomButtonImage function to use that resource. I used a PNG and had good luck with transparencies displaying well.
And finally, all that should be left is to add the following to ThisAddIn.cs
protected override Microsoft.Office.Core.IRibbonExtensibility CreateRibbonExtensibilityObject()
{
return new CustomRibbon();
}
Add whatever code you are wanting to ButtonClicked and you are set.
Deploy using Clickonce and installation is fairly straightforward.
