Hello Ikram, If you stores images in database then it would not be any problem to show the images in data grid view. But now case is diff, So you needs to create DataGridViewRow' object and after that you can add the rows to your data grid view. Sorry, I do not have any editor installed with me, so understand any syntactical mistakes.... eg. if (con.state== ConnectionState.Closed) { con.open(); } cmd.connection=con; cmd.commandText="select * from tablename" dr=cmd.executeReader(); //dr is an instance of sqlDataReader or oledbDataReader while(dr.read) { String picPath; DatagridViewRow dgvr=new DataGridViewRow(); dgvr.cells[0].value=dr.getInt32(0); //ie. id dgvr.cells[1].value=dr.getString(1); //ie. name picPath=dr.getString(2); //ie. image path Image newImage = Image.FromFile( picPath ); dgvr.cells[2].value=newImage; //create new object of System.Drawing.Image class datagridViewobj.rows.add(dgvr); // add created row to datagridview } Thank you, Shital Kothari, Ocular Systems, Baramati, website: http://www.ocularsystems.in blog: http://ocularsystems.in/blog shital@ocularsystems.in
