Adding Image to DataGridView in VB.NET

The DataGridView control and its related classes are designed to be a flexible, extensible system for displaying and editing tabular data. We can add an Image control in a column of DataGridView. This column type exposes Image and ImageLayout properties in addition to the usual base class properties. Setting the columns Image property results in that image being displayed by default for all the cells in that column. Populating an image column manually is useful when you want to provide the functionality of a DataGridViewButtonColumn, but with a customized appearance.

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