  The following code used to work under ActiveReports 6, however under ActiveReports 17 the corresponding Picture control from the Report appears empty.

  Our application code overrides SectionReport.FetchData like this:

  report.FetchData += new FetchEventHandler(this.CutFlange_FetchData);

  Then, in the method CutFlange_FetchData, we try to set the picture like this:

  Bitmap flangeBitmap = BitmapsCache.getBitmap(flageCutName);
  Field cutFlangePic = report.Fields["CutFlangePicture"];
  cutFlangePic.Value = flangeBitmap;

  flangeBitmap is a valid bitmap and cutFlangePic also appears to be valid.

  Is this way of setting a picture still valid ?
  
  If not how should I proceed ?

  Found the solution to my problem:
  
  A Field that is bound to a Picture control won’t take a System.Drawing.Bitmap as Value.
  
  However it will take a GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Document.Drawing.Image as Value and display it properly.
