I am having trouble with my datagridview the problem is that in Windows Vista and windows 7 the DataGridImageColumn shows the images without any problems but when I install my application on a machine running Windows XP the image disappears unless you scroll the dgv then you will see the image then it disappears again when you stop scrolling. I hope that someone can help me with this.

According to MSDN, the DataGridViewImageColumn class is supported on the following platforms:

Quote

Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)

That's probably the issue.

Hi MrShoes

Thank you for answering so quickly if that is the case the the dgv Image column is not supported under winXP then do you have any other clues on a workaround as the client really wants the images to appear in the dgv Image Column.

I forgot to mention the the windows XP machine has the SP3 installed if that may help

There's a thread here where they seem to have got around it, you could try that...

Thank you mrShoes the link you gave me did help me out it gave me an idea that I am trying now by holding a local Image object and using the cellpainting method to keep the image painted in ImageCell. I let you know how it goes.
