title: Possible to extract Embedded image to a file?
body: <p>Given a SSRS report definition file with an embedded image in it, just wondering if its possible to extract that image XML to recreate the original image file. </p>
  
  <p>e.g. : </p>
  
  <p>inside the rdlc file, you might see xml like this : </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;EmbeddedImage Name="tick"&gt;
    &lt;MIMEType&gt;image/bmp&lt;/MIMEType&gt;
    &lt;ImageData&gt;Qk1mAwAAAAAAADYAAAAoAAAAEAAAABEAAAABABgA ... &lt;&lt;REST OF IMAGE HERE&gt;&gt;
    &lt;/ImageData&gt;
  &lt;/EmbeddedImage&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is it possible to take the ImageData, and transform form it in some way to re-create the original image bitmap byte stream ? </p>
  
  <p>(This might be useful in cases such as when you've lost the original image file on which the embedded image was based.)</p>
