Report Designer - Setting Picture Property

I am trying to load an image into a field as the report is being displayed
by doing the following:
1. Pass the directory of where images are located into a field located
in the PageHeader section
2. Load the FileNames of the images from the database in the Details
section
3. Create the full path to the image by appending the value from the
database field with the directory value
4. Assign the full path (from Step 3) to the Picture property of the
picture field through the Section.OnPrint event


Here is the code I am using to do this:
1.
'In VB.NET
rpt.Load(strReportDefinitionPath, strReportName)
rpt.DataSource.ConnectionString = strConn
rpt.Fields("lblPicturePath").Text = strDirectory
ppv.Document = rpt.Document

2.
'This is just a database field added to the Details section of the report

3 and 4.
'In the OnPrint event of the Details section
picCanine.Picture = lblPicturePath.Text & txtPhotoPath.Text


After doing all of this, I am not getting an image displayed in the field of
the report. I have also tried setting the BackStyle of the picture field to
'Opaque' which did not work. I have also checked the path going to the
Picture property by:

picCanine.Text = lblPicturePath.Text & txtPhotoPath.Text

which returns the correct value. Is there a routine that needs to be called
after setting the Picture property?


Thanks,
Jody

 I read some thread in the forum and it is the same on my problem, by the way where I can download the PrintPreviewControl. It is not present on my installer. Thanks guys

Use following code:

Me.C1Report1.Sections("Header").OnFormat = "Field1.Picture=""D:\Program\AIS Enterprise System 2009\AIS.Report\goldwin.jpg"""
