pictures in a datagrid

How can I in my winform display picture or icons in one of the columns in my datagrid?

By writing your own DataGridColumnStyle class. There are many examples out there that describe hosting a ComboBox in a DataGridColumnStyle, and these wouldn't be hard to adapt and use a PictureBox instead. If you want, you wouldn't even have to worry about the editing if you want this image to be read-only (the editing is the most difficult part). Just make sure your query returns a BLOB (which you can read into a Stream, like a MemoryStream) or a path to an image. For a good example of hosting a ComboBox in a DataGridColumnStyle, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/08/DataGrids/[^]. It includes examples and sample source.
