Use a custom image in AX - DAX reports

Whenever you want a custom image to be shown in AX reports (Not SSRS reports), just do the following.

1.  In the Design section of the report, create a BITMAP control.
2. Create a display method with the code as shown below in the report methods.
3. Import the external image file into AX as shown below

public display Bitmap Image()

{

   // CustomImageName is the name of the image in the AX resources node after importing

   ResourceNode resNode=SysResource::getResourceNode('CustomImageName');

   container nodeData;

  

   Image img;

  

   if  (resNode != null)

   {

     resNode.AOTload();

     nodeData = SysResource::getResourceNodeData(resNode);

  

     img = new Image(nodeData);

   }

   return img.getData();

}

3. On the DataMethod property of the BITMAP control give the name of the above created display method name. save & compile. Job is DONE!!!!!!
