Hello, my image is stored on the database as an URL, not binary.
I put a textbox and the url is show on the report,
then I put an image and this expression
=(ReportItems!dslogo.Value)
dslogo is the name of the textbox where the url is. but I dont see my image yet.
Did you set the source property of the image to "External"? Do you get the image in designer preview?|||Its external and no I dont see it in the preview neither,
when I copy paste the url in the browser it shows me the image.
|||Hmm, I tried a simple repro and it worked just fine for me. Here is the rdl I used:

The reporting server is in another server than my machine, the image is on the reporting service but I am testing the report from the preview tab. Maybe it fails because the image is on another server and the report is not deployed?
The image is inside a folder of a web application
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Application\images\image1.gif.
Does the folder need special permissions, or do I have to configure reportserver XML configuration files to execute on another context?
Thanks
