'Adding image to DataGridViewImageColumn in c#

i am trying to add an image to DataGridViewImageColumn via code or even at deaign time

it always comes to a default c# image with 'x' indicating no image

i tried this code from microsoft 

    Icon treeIcon = new Icon(this.GetType(), "tree.ico");
DataGridViewImageColumn iconColumn = new DataGridViewImageColumn();
iconColumn.Image = treeIcon.ToBitmap();
iconColumn.Name = "Tree";
iconColumn.HeaderText = "Nice tree";
dataGridView1.Columns.Insert(2, iconColumn);

.however i added an .ico to the resource -also tried the file path-an exception results said that tree.ico not found in form class

I replaced the icon with an Image 

            ataGridViewImageColumn img = new DataGridViewImageColumn();
            img.ValuesAreIcons = true;
            Image image = Image.FromFile("C:/Users/../Desktop/app_edit.png");
            img.Image = image;
            showprocessed_dataGridView.Columns.Add(img);
            img.HeaderText = "Image";
            img.Name = "img";

This results to the default "no image" displayed in the ataGridViewImageColumn what is the solution to this issue ? Is the matter with image format or what !! Any help would be appreciated ..

The code from Microsoft looks like it's changing the image in the column's header. It does not add a row that contains an image. To do that you need to add a record to the data source you bind to the DataGridView which contains proper image data or manually create a DataGridViewRow which you add to the DataGridView.

Solution 2:[2]

use RowDataBound event to bind the images to grid,

protected void gridView1_RowDataBound(Object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
 if(e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
 {
  Image imgGridview = (Image) e.Row.FindControl("imgGrv");
  imgGridview.ImageUrl = "images/test.gif";
 }
}

You have to change img.ValuesAreIcons from true to false on the second code that you wrote it. It will works, it happened to me when I used your code to fix this problem.
