You could using a ImageEdit. This is a dropdown of Images. So you generate Images first via:

Image.FromFile(Path);

Add them to a List or ImageList and fill the dropdown with it. Then you just bind the index of the picture to your column.

I hope this is able to work in your case.

At first you have to create a UnboundColumn in your Grid. Just create a column and set the Property 'UnboundType' to object. Then set a RepositoryPictureEdit as ColumnEdit. Now you have a Column which got a pictureedit in each row. To populate the Images you can handle the CustomUnboundColumnData event. This event you can find on the GridView.

To accomplish this task do following:

• Run GridView Designer -> Change to columns at the left side
• Add Column

• In the Propertywindow ->

• set the Columnedit to repositorypictureedit

• set the UnboundType to object

• Activate the CustomUnboundColumnData event (you can find in the GridView) -> this event fires on loading Grid for every cell.

With e.ListSourceRowIndex you can get the row of your datasource appending to the unboundcolumn. So you could do following:

   private void gridView1_CustomUnboundColumnData(object sender, DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Base.CustomColumnDataEventArgs e)
            {
                if (e.Column.Name == "MyColumn")
                {
                    clsTest test = myListAsDataSource[e.ListSourceRowIndex];
                    e.Value = test.Bild;
                }
            }

I hope this can help you.
