Have you try to convert to byte [] to base64 and put it in your field ?

I just check, you have to encode your field here a good exemple:

hello potemkine thanks for prompt reply. Here what i tried byte[] ar = IPWS.Code39(barCode); String str = Convert.ToBase64String(ar); XPathNavigator root = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator(); root.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field17", NamespaceManager).SetValue(str); Didnt work. The last example you gave me seems a complex one can u help how to use it. thanks imran

Hi, I try this I can make it work on an attachment file but not on a picture, I don't know why. You can do something a little different with a Rich text field. you save your file somewhere and you modify the inner xml of your RT field like that:

<IMG xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" SRC=\"" + YOURPATH+ "\" />";

It will show you the image

Hi,You tried your example link http://www.bizsupportonline.net/blog/2010/04/top-10-questions-infopath-file-attachments/ you gave me before and as you suggested in your last email saved the file locally and then change the InnerXml of richtextbox??? Can i insert the base64 converted string of byte[] as source of IMG element?? Can i use the .net Convert.TOBase64String method or have to convert as shown in example link you mentioned before?? Thanks Imran

Hi,I figured it out though saving file localy isnt good idea anyhow its working.I converted the byte[] to image saved it locally and set the InnerXml property of richtextbox. Dont set using set value instead InnerXml. It works.Thanks to Potenkime for this idea and support.Imran

 You're welcome

 I just think of it, If you save your picture locally it will work for the current user but not if a user try to open it from other location. Is it possible to save your file on a drive Share or on a sharepoint Document library?

Hi,infact i don't think it will be problem for every user acesses the form from server( I am not deploying my template to sharepoint document library). So on every user machine file is temporarily saved to e.g c:\temp and as form is closed i opted to delete the temp file. This was my idea but now i am thinking not to do this and i opting now to change the url of dataconnection as once template is deployed to customer i have to change the url of data connection.
