Dynamics AX 2009: Business Intelligence – Dynamically Generating Bitmap Images for SSRS Reports using Data Methods
In my last post I took a detour from the Data Method topic and explored how to getting bitmaps into reports. This post is going I’ll merge the two topics – instead of embedding and image or retrieving it from another source we are going to build a report that creates bitmaps on-the-fly and places them in report designs. This technique has several uses You can generate custom charts & graphics You can create images that are context-sensitive (you could for example show the time the report was rendered as a clock, instead of showing it as text in HH:MM format) You can make some very nice looking title bars or backgrounds using effects that are not possible from the SSRS reporting tools directly First, verify that you can create a precision decision that contains an embedded image (you can start with the source code from my previous blog post) Verify that it renders in preview Good.
