I need your help adding an image to a PDF.
I'm using:
string imgPath2 = localPath + "\\TempChartImages\\" + LegendPath;
img2.Save(imgPath2);
ith.WriteImage(imgPath2, 80);
But this code gives me the error:
Use of unassigned local variable img2
How can I solve this error?
When you declare a variable, in your case img2, without assigning a value it is pointing to absolutely nothing. Make sure you initialize img2 to something before using it.
I think what you want your img2.Save line to be changed to:
Image img2 = Image.FromFile(yourInitialImageHere); // You could be reading from memory as well.
img2.Save(imgPath2);
I could be way off though as your snippet of code is pretty vague.
it's a hunch, but if you're assigning the value of img2 inside a Try-Catch block you might be hitting an exception that prevents the assignment from taking place. For example:
var img2;
try
{
var x = 5 / 0; // Generate a DivideByZero exception
img2 = GetImage(); // <-- the above exception will prevent this code from executing
}
catch
{
}
img2.Save(imgPath2); <-- img2 wasn't assigned, so another exception will occur
I believe you have to instantiate first the Image.
Image img2 = new Image();
it solved my problems. Hope it will solve yours.
You have to create a getinstance of the image.
iTextSharp.text.Image img = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance("path of the image");
