setting crystal reports values from visual basic.net

[Guest]

Hello,
I'm not sure whether this is the right forum for this query, but here
goes anyway.
I am calling a crystal report from within vb.net code as shown below

oRpt = New ReportDocument
oRpt.Load("C:\Crystal Reports\MyReport.rpt")
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = oRpt

In the report detail section I have a .net component called PICTURE1 which
is of type picture1control ( a custom control) I wish to set the PATH
property of the control to the filename property of the the report
datasource.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Geri

An other solution:
use a crystal OLE object.
