Question : Visual Studio 2005, Crystal Report Viewer 10, displaying dynamic image

I already posted that question and was able to have the image display using Crystal Report X1 but my problem is that this was from working at home with "non legit version" of CR.

The second option was to create a dataset which would hold the image data
see.

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/.NET/Visual_Basic.NET/Q_24905564.html

The problem is that the example from that question were using image that were stored on pictureboxes with his not my case, i need to load them from a filepath.

With this help of this website
http://inspirone.blogspot.com/2007/01/loading-images-dynamically-in-crystal.html
I manage to the the image store in the dataset "to test im just using a path in text format rather than from the database.

Everything seems to be working fine, i do not have any error message, the report shows but the blob field created by my dataset is empty instead of having the image.

The dataset is name ImageDataset
The Table is called objDataTable
the only column in the table is called EspaceClos_FilePath and its DataType is "System.Byte()" i had to include the brackets at the end of the DataType

else i would get the error message
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Byte[]' to type 'System.IConvertible'.Couldn't store in EspaceClos_FilePath Column. Expected type is Byte.

at the line: ds.Tables(0).Rows(0)("EspaceClos_FilePath") = Image

I have attached the code used to store the image in the dataset and the one cally the report .
The part calling the report "after the end try" is working fine for my other reports that i print using that same application.

Does anyone know Why i wouldn't be able to show the image even using the dataset?

Im using
Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition Version 8.0.500727.42 (TRM.060727-4200)
.NET Framework version 2.0.60727 SP2
and
Crystal Report Reference version is 10.2.3600.0

Thanks for your help in advance.
