Posted on by Abhilash M abi 595

Hello Experts,

We have a requirment in which we have to produce the QR code of each contact and include it in the SSRS report


We already found how to generate QR code as image from

chart.googleapis.com/chart;cht=qr&chl=Hello%20world


So what is the best way to save this image for each contact, can we use existing image field or create a new web resource and populate it with image or create new entity to store the contacts and QR code?

Also we need to include this QR code image in the SSRS report


Please provide your suggestions

Thanks in Advance.

    Just FYI. Search engines rule - www.google.com.ua/search and first result - msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg328429.aspx

    You should try it one day.

    Hello,

    I would suggest to use following approach:

    1. Develop a plugin that will handle creation of a contact, call that endpoint, download image and save it as an attachment to contact with some specific name (qrcode.jpg or so).

    2. Include to your report fetching of image from notes using filter by name. This article describes how to show image from attachment - weblogs.asp.net/.../ssrs-report-show-dynamics-crm-note-attachment
