Hi:

I'm trying to get a simple image to show up in a DataGridViewImageColumn in a DataGridView.

No matter what I do, all I get is a red X. In the properties window I can see the image justt fine. In the column in the grid, I just get that X.

I started with a jpg and tried converting it to a bitmap. I know the app. can see it because the properties window names it and displays it. If I make it a 'resource', it can see it. Still the column itself cannot see it.

Oh, I also tried setting the image mode to Stretch. It simply can't see the image.

What must I do to get the image to show up? Or is it that the DataGridView simply doesn't display images?

Hi,

You may see the red X in the designer time, but after it's compiled and executed, it's ok, showing the image in the run time.

Hmm, I tried that and it didn't work.
Should it work for a .jpg file? If so, it didn't work. i got the X at run time as well.

Hi,

I tried again, and did the following: Add a new datagridview, edit the columns to add a new DataGridViewImageColumn. And set the Image property of the ImageColumn to some .jpg picture. Compile it and run, it DO NOT show up the image picture. But after I databind the datagridview control, add the following lines,

dataGridView2.AutoGenerateColumns = true; dataGridView2.DataSource = northwindDS; dataGridView2.DataMember = "Customers";

, compile and run, it DO show up the image. Have you set the datasource of the datagridview then?
