How to show image from URL in datagridview cell?

Question

How do you load an image from a URL and then put it into DataGridView\'s cell (not Column header)? The rows which include the images will be added to the view at runtime based

Answer 1

Here is my solution. It works correctly for me to retrieve an image from DataGridView to load in PictureBox.

Form Event:

 Private con As New SqlConnection("YourConnectionString")
    Private com As SqlCommand
Private Sub DGV_CellClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DGV.CellClick
        con.Open()
        com = New SqlCommand("SELECT MyPhoto FROM tbGalary WHERE ID=" & DGV.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(0).Value, con)
        Dim ms As New MemoryStream(CType(com.ExecuteScalar, Byte()))
        txtPicture.Image = Image.FromStream(ms)
        txtPicture.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage
        com.Dispose()
        con.Close()
End Sub

SQL Table:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tbGalary](
    [ID] [int] NOT NULL,
    [MyPhoto] [image] NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]

SQL Insert image:

INSERT INTO tbGalary VALUES('1','D:\image1.jpg')
INSERT INTO tbGalary VALUES('2','D:\image2.jpg')
INSERT INTO tbGalary VALUES('3','D:\image3.jpg')
INSERT INTO tbGalary VALUES('4','D:\image4.jpg')
INSERT INTO tbGalary VALUES('5','D:\image5.jpg')

Have a look at this SO Post https://stackoverflow.com/a/1906625/763026

 foreach (DataRow row in t.Rows)
    {
                    HttpWebRequest myRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(row["uri"].ToString());
                    myRequest.Method = "GET";
                    HttpWebResponse myResponse = (HttpWebResponse)myRequest.GetResponse();
                    System.Drawing.Bitmap bmp = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(myResponse.GetResponseStream());
                    myResponse.Close();

                    row["Img"] = bmp;
    }
