Adding Image to DataGridView in VB.NET

The DataGridView control and its related classes offer great flexibility and extensibility for displaying and editing tabular data. Among the available column types, we can utilize an Image column to add an Image control within a DataGridView.

Image and ImageLayout

The Image column type provides additional properties, such as Image and ImageLayout, in addition to the standard properties inherited from the base class. By setting the Image property of the column, we can ensure that the specified image is displayed by default for all the cells in that column.

Manually populating an image column becomes beneficial when you want to offer functionality similar to that of a DataGridViewButtonColumn, but with a customized appearance. This allows you to provide a visual representation or indicator within the DataGridView that can be associated with specific data or actions.

The following vb.net program shows how to add a Image in column of a DataGridView control.
