How to:

#region Original

rpt.Load("D:\\CPP Net\\RASXIR2Printer\\oleobject.rpt");

rptClientDoc = rpt.ReportClientDocument;

String MyfilePath = "C:\\temp\\mansheart.jpg";

//Determine which section to add the picture field to - in this case the report header section

CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.Section boSection;

boSection = rptClientDoc.ReportDefController.ReportDefinition.PageFooterArea.Sections[0];

boSection.Height = 1010; // in twips

boPictureObject.Left = 1010;

boPictureObject.Width = 500;

boPictureObject.Height = 200;

boPictureObject.Top = 100;

boPictureObject.OriginalWidth = 50;

boPictureObject.OriginalHeight = 30;

boPictureObject.Name = "dontest";

//Add it to the report

boPictureObject = rptClientDoc.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.ImportPicture(MyfilePath, boSection, 1, 1);

rpt.SaveAs("c:\\temp\\savedimage.rpt", true);

MessageBox.Show("c:\\temp\\savedimage.rpt", "RAS", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);

#endregion Original

Cannot implicitly convert type 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ISCDReportClientDocument' to

'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ReportClientDocument'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)
