VB.net 2008 and Crystal Reports 11 dynamicaly change graphic location

Question

I am using VB.NET2008 and Crystal Reports 11.5. I have created rpt in crystal reports app and created Picture Object. also gave the Graphic Location formula as follows;

{pic_path.path_name} + "\" + {reg_emp.emp_qid} + ".jpg"

pic_path.path_name and reg_emp.emp_qid has the file locationa path something as follows;

"C:\bin" + "\" + "2345" + ".jpg"

It is working fine with the report. But when I import it on VB.NET and use below code to display the rpt;

Dim cryRpt As New rpt_labor_card ' this is the rpt file
    cryRpt.SetDataSource(ds) 'ds has the all data to be displayed in report

    rpt_view.CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cryRpt
    rpt_view.CrystalReportViewer1.Refresh()
    rpt_view.CrystalReportViewer1.RefreshReport()
    rpt_view.Show()

But picture is not displaying in report and the Graphics Location is not available in Format Object > Picture.

What can I do to display picture in rpt file ?

Thank you,

ok let me know are you taking the picture by code or it just static picture? — PEO
dataset has the path to picture location. I have inserted picture with a default image. my problem is Graphics Location is not available inside vb.net rpt — Sameera Silva

try to load that picture in your database and pass it to directly crystal report. And use that field directly instead of taking Graphics Object. — Shell
I have already picture in my rpt. I want to change it according to dataset picture URL. also I am using VB.NET2008 — Sameera Silva

You need to update your crystal viewer in your program. Since the graphic location is not there, there is no way to dynamically load images. I have researched this for quite a while now, and still have not come up with a solution.
