Assign an expression to an image name, using a custom assembly

This exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to choose the correct Wise Owl Microsoft training course, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.

Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file.

This exercise isn't as scary as the title above makes it sound! The idea is to display an image next to each film, according to whether it's short (under 2 hours), medium (2-3 hours) or long (3 hours +).

This person clearly isn't a film buff: the shorter the film the better.

Thoughts on how to go about doing this are shown below!

To start our report off, first add 3 images from the folder shown at the start of this exercise into a new report called Not a film buff:

Right-click on the Images category, and choose to add 3 images from the folder shown at the start of this exercise (they've got PNG extensions).

Now create a report listing out the names and lengths of films, with an image showing that each film is great:

Write a function in a class library, build it and copy the DLL over so that it is available to you in your report server project. Here's what the function should return:

Length of film (minutes)	Image returned
Up to 120	great
120 to 180	ok
More than 180	yawn

You can write your code for the custom assembly using either VB or C# - the choice is yours!

Set this function to be the source for your image:

Click on the expression builder tool to set the source for this image to be the results of your function.

Check that your images look correct in your report!

You can unzip this file to see the answers to this exercise, although please remember this is for your personal use only.
