Unable to assign Picture Format to RecordSet Field PictureValue

    Hi

    When I try the example code from the Language Reference:

    // rs is a RecordSet with a picture column called "ProductImage"
Dim productImage As Picture
productImage = rs.Field("ProductImage").PictureValue(Picture.FormatJPEG)

    I get a compilation error: "This is not an array but you're using it as one"

    It works fine if I remove the (Picture.FormatJPEG)

    Any one any thoughts?

    Thanks

    I have:

    productImage = rs.Field("ProductImage").PictureValue

    and that works.

    On the other hand, why do you want to assigh a file type (Picture.FormatJPEG) to a Picture ?

    Thanks Emile. Yes, loosing the parameter works for me too. I'm trying to load an image and it's returning nil in some cases, so I'm trying to build an if/elseif setup to try to cater for multiple formats. - Maybe PictureValue already does this and it's a bug in the example...

    At Record creation, Picture works fine. At Update time, the things are a bit different. I think the Picture have to be alone in the code (I do not recall how I’ve done that).

    Can you tell me where in the documentation you find that code ?
    (I do not found it in the LR)

    Right in the Language Reference from the Contextual Help of the RecordSet's PictureValue:

    -image-

    I will check, thank you.

    I found it (but not from the above screen: I do not had it with Xojo 2018r3).

    Strange.
