7 How to use live binding to bind blob field to TImage control?

delphi delphi-xe2 livebindings

I am using Delphi XE2 to write a VCL win32 application. Delphi XE2 support live binding. I load sample
Biolife.xml into a TClientDataSet instance.
I able to bind a TEdit control to dataset's string field: Species Name:

object BindLinkEdit11: TBindLink

Category = 'Links'
SourceMemberName = 'Species Name'
ControlComponent = Edit1
SourceComponent = BindScopeDB1
ParseExpressions = <>
FormatExpressions = <
item
ControlExpression = 'Text'
SourceExpression = 'DisplayText'
end>
ClearExpressions = <>
end

I then trying to bind Graphic field to TImage control:

object BindLinkImage11: TBindLink

Category = 'Links'
SourceMemberName = 'Graphic'
ControlComponent = Image1
SourceComponent = BindScopeDB1
ParseExpressions = <>
FormatExpressions = <
item
ControlExpression = 'Picture'
SourceExpression = 'Value'
end>
ClearExpressions = <>
end

Apparently, it doesn't work. Is that possible to do so?

Take a look into the BindLinkVCLProject demo project. There is shown also a binding for the
7 image, so my guess is you need to do it this way (the Self in SourceExpression represents a blob
field):
Category Links
SourceMemberName = 'Graphic'
ControlComponent = Image1
SourceComponent = BindScopeDB1
ParseExpressions = <
item
ControlExpression = 'Picture'
SourceExpression = 'Self'
end>
FormatExpressions = <
item
ControlExpression = 'Picture'
SourceExpression = 'Self'
end>
ClearExpressions = <
item
ControlExpression = 'Picture'
SourceExpression = 'nil'
end>
end
