SSRS: External image in tablix cell - ssrs-2008

My data set contains a column named IconUri that contains a full HTTP address to an image located on a web server. This data set is bound to a tablix, and I'd like to display the image in a cell.
1) I've tried to drag an image into the cell, but I can't use expressions as the image itself isn't aware of its parent's (the tablix) data set.
2) I've also tried to apply the image as a cell background, and while this certainly displays the image, it repeats it in horizontal and vertical direction, which is undesirable. The cell shall contain only one copy of the image.
3) I've tried to create a rectangle in the cell, but it will scale to the cell itself and thus the same effect as above.
Is there a way in which this might be done? I'm even open to performing some XML hacking if this is what is necessary. Thank you!

From the toolbox drag an image into your the cell of your tablix:
Then right click on the newly added image in the cell and select Image Properties:
Change the image source to External and then pick the dataset field that contains your product URL:
If you get the dreaded red cross instead of an image when you run the report, triple check that the URL actually does point at a publicly available image.
If your using a file from the file system rather than an image hosted at a url, you need to ensure the file path is in the form of "file:///C:/RDLCTest/TestImage.png".
If your also displaying the report in the ReportViewer control you will need to turn on EnableExternalImages for the report in code, but that isn't needed if your just outputting the report to say a PDF and downloading it

Use Image and in the image properties set the value to something like this
= Code.ConvertTotWebUrl(First(Fields!Logo.Value, "dsOrder"))

I solved this problem by examining the XML code that the editor created for the image, and I moved the relevant tag inside the tablix cell and assigned the appropriate bindings. When I re-opened the editor again, everything fell into place: the image recognizes the data source and compiling as well as rendering works flawelessly.

WYSIWYG to create annotated images

I have a special needs situation. I need a tool to allow annotating images. So, the WYSIWYG would have an image. I could click on a spot in the image and create a select box. I can size this box to whatever dimension need. I can then add text that will be associated with the box that will show up on a tool tip when the image is viewed.
So basically, need to be able to select an area of the image and save the coordinates of the area position and size, along with accompanying text.

How to prevent image in Crystal Reports 10 from being cut off to the second page

I'm making a Crystal Reports template. The template has some text in the header and then it has an image. If the text has a few lines, the image is normal and allowed in the first page, but if the text has many lines the image will be cut off in the first page and second page. Could it have ways to prevent the image from being cut off to the second page, such as auto-rescaling the image size?
I tried can grow and other settings in Crystal Reports 10, but it didn't work.
Report Design Picture
Make sure Keep Object Together in the properties of the image is checked. This will prevent CR to split your image across pages.
Best option in this case would be Create another section and place the image in that section instead of text and image in same section, This will force the image to go to another page if it doens't fit in first page.
For E.g, if data in report header, create one more section Report Header a and place text in that section and Report Header b and place image in this section

using itextsharp add image under text but over other images that have been placed

Imagine a pdf with text and a application that test images over the text.
In every test pdf is saved and the next test using same pdf.
The first time you add image under text you can see the results, next time you will try you add image under is not appear because first image cover it.
So...exists something GetBetween or can i choose the layer that i want?
If i use GetUnderContent only first image appears and all others are hide.
If i use GetOverContent then the text is covered by image.

How to correctly extend an AEM out of box image component?

I have a requirement of creating a custom image component.I need to add a new tab on image component.so, I overridden the cq:dialogue and using the out of box as a super type. OOB image component don't have a tab so I restructured the whole cq:dialogue into two different tab.one of them contain the OOB component nodes and the new tab contain some new functionality that I required.Everything is working fine expect the image preview.when I open the configuration tab and upload a image, initially the image preview is available but when I try to reconfigure it only the name of the image appears instead of the preview.Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance

How to display a scrollable grid of images in matlab GUI

How can i display a scrollable grid of images in matlab GUI?
I want something similar to what is shown below
This stackoverflow post describes a way of displaying images in a uitable by setting the 'String' property to an HTML code pointing to an image. But this requires me to save the images to disk which is not an option i would like as these displays are fired up dynamically.
It would also be nice, if i could add a checkbox inside each image so the user can select a subset of them.
You can use this tool. In the gui, you should be able to scroll through. But to have title below every image you might have to edit the tool.
Sample output:
a grid of images http://www.mathworks.in/matlabcentral/fx_files/22387/12/imdisp.jpg

How can I use scrollbars in MATLAB figure windows when viewing large GUIs?
-> Note: This is a workaround, scrollbars are not available for Matlab-figures
I would suggest to use the tool Prashanth presented in his awnswer and combine it, by putting all elements within the panel.
