Yes you can

implement the cell

private void dataGridView1_CellClick(object sender,
DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{

dataGridView1.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile(imagepath);
}

hi, i want to set backgroundimage to selected cell not grid backgroundimage

yes you can, and with a small amount of imagination it was very obvious and very simple. In fact MSDN shows almost how to do it, it shows how you draw something for a given cell and it took me like 2 minutes of my life which I bothered to do.

And you guys wonder why I get narked? Tiny amount of reading of msdn.

where b is a bitmap loaded in or such.

e.PaintContent(e.CellBounds);
            if (dataGridView1.CurrentCell.RowIndex == e.RowIndex && dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex == e.ColumnIndex)
            {
                e.Graphics.DrawImage(b, e.CellBounds);
            }
            else
            {
                e.PaintBackground(e.CellBounds, true);
            }
            e.Handled = true;

                e.PaintBackground(e.CellBounds, true);
            }
            e.Handled = true;

i want to c the content as wel as img. but the image s overlapping the cell content. how to c both .is it possible.plz tel me

[LizR]

I just noticed it pasted it funny.

That drawcontents should be just before the handled line not the first. Otherwise yes the background ovewrites it but you would have noticed that..

[Renukavani]

ya the image s overlapping in cellpainting event ,so if i added before the image , im drawing the string means each and every time the cellpainting event s firing whenever mouse enters to the grid.so the problwm s lot of records s available in grid. every time its drawing text based on clicked content.any more suggestion.

[LizR]

when you say its overlapping - what exactly is it overlapping? do you even mean overlapping? Please explain more clearly your issue as at the moment its not clear at all. If necessary, draw a picture or take a screen shot or something and use pointers and point out what you're getting you're not expecting.

the code I gave will only draw the picture for the current cell,and do normal behavor for all others, so I dont understand what the rest of your post is on about..

Please explain more fully and also explain what you've done to try and fix it.
