So in our Report we have an ImageBox in the Detail Band which we want to have a different image per page.
Seeing that changing it in the BeforePrint Event of the Detail Band doesn't work (since it's only called once per print of the Report) I followed the following approach so far (which doesn't work):
In the PrintOnPage Event of a label of the Page Header Band of the Report (in order to have it called per page and be able to use the PrintOnPageEventArgs in the new XRPictureBox - I need the PageIndex):
private void xrLabel10_PrintOnPage(object sender, PrintOnPageEventArgs e)
{
this.Detail.Controls.Remove(xrPictureBox1); //Existing PictureBox control
this.Detail.Controls.Add(PictureBox(e));
}
Which calls this:
private List<Bitmap> _imageList;
public XRPictureBox PictureBox(PrintOnPageEventArgs e)
{
XRPictureBox pictureBox = new XRPictureBox();
var articleService = DependencyResolver.Current.GetService<IArticleService>();
int width;
int height;
pictureBox.Name = "xrPictureBox_" + e.PageIndex;
pictureBox.BackColor = Color.Transparent;
pictureBox.Dpi = 254F;
pictureBox.LocationFloat = new DevExpress.Utils.PointFloat(108.4792F, 71.4375F);
pictureBox.Name = "xrPictureBox_" + e.PageIndex;
pictureBox.SizeF = new SizeF(950F, 1225F);
pictureBox.Sizing = ImageSizeMode.Squeeze;
pictureBox.StylePriority.UseBackColor = false;
if (ReportUnit == ReportUnit.HundredthsOfAnInch)
{
width = (int)(GraphicsUnitConverter.Convert(xrPictureBox1.Size.Width, GraphicsUnit.Inch, GraphicsUnit.Pixel) / 100);
height = (int)(GraphicsUnitConverter.Convert(xrPictureBox1.Size.Height, GraphicsUnit.Inch, GraphicsUnit.Pixel) / 100);
}
else
{
width = (int)(GraphicsUnitConverter.Convert(xrPictureBox1.Size.Width, GraphicsUnit.Millimeter, GraphicsUnit.Pixel) / 10);
height = (int)(GraphicsUnitConverter.Convert(xrPictureBox1.Size.Height, GraphicsUnit.Millimeter, GraphicsUnit.Pixel) / 10);
}
if (_imageList == null)
{
_imageList = articleService .GetListOfImages((int)articleId.Value, width, height, PageColor); //this gets a List<Bitmap>
}
if (_imageList[e.PageIndex] == null)
return null;
pictureBox.Image = _imageList[e.PageIndex];
return pictureBox;
}
So basically my idea was to replace the existing Control with a new XRPictureBox with the new image. But it just doesn't appear in the Report, even though while debugging I see the code being run and retrieving the correct images for the correct pages.
Edit: nempoBu4's answer is correct generally, but unfortunately I failed to clarify an additional issue which makes it not perfect for my situation: The report also has a subreport right next to the PictureBox and this subreport can expand to more than one pages. We wanted the PictureBox to render a different image in each of these pages and they don't trigger the PrintOnPage event of the PictureBox. I will add an answer with the workaround we found as soon as I can :)

You can use the PrintOnPage
event of your PictureBox
itself.
Here is example:
var source = new List<Tuple<int, string>>();
for (int index = 0; index < 100; index++)
source.Add(new Tuple<int, string>(index, "Name" + index));
var pictureBox = new XRPictureBox();
pictureBox.PrintOnPage += (sender, e) =>
{
if (_imageList[e.PageIndex] == null)
return;
pictureBox.Image = _imageList[e.PageIndex];
};
var labelItem1 = new XRLabel();
labelItem1.DataBindings.Add("Text", null, "Item1");
labelItem1.LeftF = 100;
var labelItem2 = new XRLabel();
labelItem2.DataBindings.Add("Text", null, "Item2");
labelItem2.LeftF = 200;
var detail = new DetailBand();
detail.Controls.AddRange(new XRControl[] { pictureBox, labelItem1, labelItem2 });
var report = new XtraReport();
report.Bands.Add(detail);
report.DataSource = source;
report.ShowRibbonPreview();
If you want to have only one image per page then you can use watermarks.
Here is example:
var source = new List<Tuple<int, string>>();
for (int index = 0; index < 100; index++)
source.Add(new Tuple<int, string>(index, "Name" + index));
var labelItem1 = new XRLabel();
labelItem1.DataBindings.Add("Text", null, "Item1");
labelItem1.LeftF = 100;
var labelItem2 = new XRLabel();
labelItem2.DataBindings.Add("Text", null, "Item2");
labelItem2.LeftF = 200;
var detail = new DetailBand();
detail.Controls.AddRange(new XRControl[] { labelItem1, labelItem2 });
var report = new XtraReport();
report.Bands.Add(detail);
report.DataSource = source;
report.CreateDocument();
foreach (Page page in report.Pages)
if (_imageList[page.Index] != null)
{
var watermark = new Watermark();
watermark.Image = _imageList[page.Index];
page.AssignWatermark(watermark);
}
report.ShowRibbonPreview();
