    Yes. In your case, I think what you want is the URI option. You can put all your images on a webserver somewhere, named after the possible contents of that field (e.g. "account1.png"), then specify the URI option with something like "https://example.com/images/{0}.png". When the field contains the value "account1", the component will contain the image at https://example.com/images/account1.png .

Thank for replying. So only one image can be bound then? I have to display a different image according to the content of the field.

      I know you already got the answer, however another way to do this will be to create a table and load the image binary as varbinary into the table, once you have that you can use it in BI viewer and change it based on the row selection.
