LINQ Reporting Engine throws System.ArgumentNullException when JsonDataSource has image using C#

Hi,

I am generating document using LINQ Reporting which involves inserting images dynamically. I am using JsonDataSource as the datasource.

Getting exception “Buffer cannot be null. Parameter name: buffer”

Json Data

{
“Name”: “Ravi Kashyap”,
“Signature”: “”
}

If I use the concrete type then it works.

I have attached sample code/ project which has th template/ json file as embedded resource.

Can someone please suggest? I have to use jsondatareader as the data is dynamic.

Sample Code:

private static void GenerateDocumentFromJson_NotWorking()
{
byte[] generatedDocument;
// Get Template
var templateContent = ReadResourceData(“Sample_ImageTest01.docx”);

        // Get Json Data
        var templatDataContent = ReadResourceData("Sample_ImageTest01.json");

        // Load the template document.
        using (MemoryStream templateStream = new MemoryStream(templateContent))
        {
            Document doc = new Document(templateStream);
            using (MemoryStream dataStream = new MemoryStream(templatDataContent))
            {
                JsonDataSource jsonDataSource = new JsonDataSource(dataStream);

                // Create a Reporting Engine.
                ReportingEngine engine = new ReportingEngine();

                // Execute the build report.
                engine.BuildReport(doc, jsonDataSource, "data");

                // Save the finished document to disk.
                using (MemoryStream outStream = new MemoryStream())
                {
                    doc.Save(outStream, SaveFormat.Docx);
                    generatedDocument = outStream.ToArray();
                }
            }
            File.WriteAllBytes($"Output_Sample_ImageTest01_{ DateTime.Now.ToString("dd_MM_yyyy_hh_mm_s")}.docx", generatedDocument);
        }
    }
