image in datagridview

Violeta Popa

Hello :)

I'm trying to display image in datagridview cells, depending on a condition. My code seems right but i don't know why it doesn't display anything.

for (int k = 0; k <= calculGridView.Rows.Count-1; k++)

{

Image img;

DataGridViewImageCell cell = (DataGridViewImageCell)calculGridView.Rows[k].Cells["image"];//image is a datagridviewimagecolumn

if (calculGridView.Rows[k].Cells["societate"].Value.ToString() == "BetaCar")

{

img = Image.FromFile(@"C:\\Users\\Vio\\Desktop\\New folder\\betacar.jpg");

cell.Value = img;

}

}
Does anybody know what's wrong? or maybe another solution?

It sounds like the code isn't entering the 'if' block at all though you could test that by putting a MessageBox.Show at the beginning of the block.

Are you sure are the cell contains "BetaCar" and not "Beta Car" (or the same word(s) with different casing) and that there's no white-space at the end which needs trimming off before the comparison is made?

Thank you for replying, but the problem was at if condition. Anyway I've removed @ too and now I know when I have to use it :D

In this line:

img = Image.FromFile(@"C:\\Users\\Vio\\Desktop\\New folder\\betacar.jpg");

you don't want the @ in front because the backslashes have been doubled.
