How do you display dynamic images within a report? For example, a product
catalog with product pics? The filename will be pulled from my dataset.
Can I change the source of the image with the filename coming from the
dataset? My next question is how can I do this with a column layout??
i.e. - If I want to display two dynamic images per row.

You can do this by dropping an image (or two) control in your table column.
URI should work for this. Use the expression builder for the value. You
should be able to put something in like row["filename"]. It will show a red
x until you run the report.

For more on the image control look at

Jason,

I have tried following the steps in the demo you referenced below but I
can't get the image to display.
I have created scripted data source/set and etc. I'm on 2.0 M2 version of
BIRT.

Is there a known issue with images support?

Thanks,
-Barys
