i wanted to know is there any way to set an image to datagrid view header instead of a colour?
i want to set an image on default rows header background please help me in this regard.
thanks

Hi Muhammad Wasim,

Based on my experience, the way to achieve this is handle the CellPainting event. Here is an example.
void dataGridView1_CellPainting(object sender, DataGridViewCellPaintingEventArgs e)
{
if (e.ColumnIndex < 0 && e.RowIndex >= 0)
{
Image img = Image.FromFile(@"E:\G.jpg");
ImageList imgLst = new ImageList();
imgLst.Images.Add(img);
e.Graphics.DrawImage(imgLst.Images[0], e.CellBounds.Location);
e.Handled = true;
}
}
The example will draw an image to the row header. You can resize the image in the ImageList. Use e.Graphics.DrawImage to draw the image.

Wish this can help you.

Sincerely,
Kira Qian
