#### How to insert images that are stored in a data source

1. Drag the image element from the palette, and drop it in the desired location on the page. If you insert the image element in a table, which is typical for displaying dynamic images, make sure the table is bound to the data set that contains the image field.
2. On New Image Item, select Dynamic image. New Image Item displays Enter dynamic image expression and buttons to help you create the required column binding and appropriate expression, as shown in Figure 5-4.

3. Create a column binding that specifies the data-set field that contains the images:

1. Choose Binding.
2. On Data Binding, choose Add.
3. On Expression Builder, choose Available Data Sets, choose the appropriate data set, then double-click the image field. Choose OK. The new column binding appears in Data Binding with the column name highlighted.
4. Replace the name New Binding with a name of your choice, then choose OK.

4. In Enter dynamic image expression, type an expression to use the column binding you just created. For example, if the name of the column binding is Image, this is the expression you type:

    row["Image"]

You can also use Expression Builder to construct the expression if you are not sure what syntax to use. In Expression Builder, choose Available Column Bindings, then choose the column binding you created.

5. Choose Insert. The image element appears on the page in the layout editor. It shows an X. The actual images appear only when you preview the report.
