You rock man! Keep it up!https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/12826.aspxThu, 30 Mar 2006 07:28:56 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:12826AndersR0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/12826.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=45&PostID=12826Since it takes some quirks to make this work, i thought i'd post a 5 liner to show how to add pictures on the fly with managed code.<br /><br />In my example it was file attachments that needed to be converted to pictures for print view, but it could as well be a dropdown with with images in a Picture Library, folder or database, where you want to show the selected picture when selection changes.<br /><br />IXMLDOMNode picture = yourNodeList.selectSingleNode("my:picture");//this is where you want to put your picture. Could be a repeating list with a dummy picture object<br />byte[] bytes = yourBinaryPicture;//this is a byte array containing the picture in binary format<br /><br />if ( ((IXMLDOMElement)picture).getAttribute("xsi:nil") != null )<br /> ((IXMLDOMElement)picture).removeAttribute("xsi:nil");//remove attribute that specifies that the field has no value<br /><br />picture.nodeTypedValue = Convert.ToBase64String(yourBinaryPicture);//convert byte array to a Base64 encoded string and insert into nodeTypedValue property<br /><br />hope this saves some head scratching for someone :-)
