To learn more about Images, and how to access the Image component within the Report Designer, see Loading Images in Report Designer. This article provides an overview of the Image Stretch Property.

Occasionally an Image component is bigger than the actual image meant to fill it. This is when the Stretch property can be used to improve the look of your report.

The Stretch property is located in the properties of an Image component.

After setting the Stretch property to true, the image fills all free space of the component.

Stretching an image may break its proportions.

To stretch an image without breaking its proportions, set the Aspect Ratio property to True.
