I’m a little confused. Because I thought there was built in functionality to display reports.

What exactly are you doing?

Hi Andrews,

Exactly you are saying is correct , but we are saving the image as byte array, So there is no path and not saved in a folder. that’s it’s have issues.

Not applicable. Reports can directly handle blobs from the database. The issue appears to be showing an image in the report table from such a blob column of a dataset.
