MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / August 2004Showing image in browser
Hi all, I've got a problem on showing the filled form (xml file) from infopath on a web browser. Theoretically, I can apply a xsl on the filled form, then show it on a browser as a simple web page. However, when I insert an image into a rich text field in the form, the image will be ember into the xml file, I can show the form with the image again by the infopath. But how can I show it in a brower by applying a xsl? The best way to do this, since the XML will continue to live on the server, is to use ASP.NET to repoint the src attributes of the embedded image data. Then use ASP.NET to stream the decoded data from the original XML file. It looks like this. <img src="mso-inline/GUID" xd:inline="base64Data" /> becomes <img src="mypage.aspx?src=GUID&page=myDoc.xml" /> In ASP.NET, it's quite easy to decode base64 data, so you need only a tiny amount of code to fetch the original XML and do the decoding.

My process is an ASP.NET page which calls a transform on the XML. In the XSL I've got a C# script block that attemps to do the decoding. It almost works, except I can't get it to recognize System.Drawing... For a much more detailed explanation of what I'm doing, see my posting titled, "Need to add assembly reference to an ASP.NET page with XML/XSL transform", dated 2004-08-25, in the microsoft.public.xsl newsgroup.
