Ability to rotate the image in PictureBox

Images taken with a mobile device are sometimes displayed in PictureBox rotated by 90, 180 or 270 degrees. The reason is that whenever a photo is taken, the device saves its current accelerometer orientation into a corresponding Exif tag with the image metadata, so this info is then read and taken into account by our Report Designer.

Hi,

Image rotation is creating serious problems in our system. We have legal reports of equipment components, and the images are getting rotated randomly due to the XIFF property. In the Report document we are having description that a component is facing down while the image depicting same shows the component facing up or sideways, questioning the validity of our report. Please fix this on priority. Everywhere it is showing correct orientation except in the report generated. Is there any workaround for this?

Hello Svein,

Thank you for the feedback!

I have provided your feedback to the development team and while the feature is not currently in our immediate plans, I have also moved it for discussion on our next planning so that we can try and determine the closest release in which we would be able to implement this feature.

Please stay tuned for updates.

Regards,

Telerik Reporting does annoyingly still not allow us to select-/dynamically switch-/override control orientation-/size of image displayed in PictureBox at runtime, based on image height/width or alternatively based on the EXIF metadata for the image orientation, within the report designer. So if Telerik after all these years could add a basic property-/having a simple logic for Calculating orientation(landscape vs portrait) it would be extremely useful.
( EXIF metadata, tells programs how to display the image (e.g. rotated 90°, flipped, etc.) without changing the actual pixel data. Seemingly, if Telerik is looking at the EXIF orientation tag, it might not correctly reflect the correct display orientation of image compared to the reported height and width (like if the image is rotated in the EXIF metadata) )
