Question

Right now I am using the following code to populate my third column in DataGridView:

 Bitmap img = new   
 Bitmap(@"C:\Project\Images\Image1.jpg");
 DataGridView [2, 0].Value = img;           //2,0 is 1st row, 3rd column

 Bitmap img2 = new   
 Bitmap(@"C:\Project\Images\Image2.jpg");
 DataGridView [2, 1].Value = img2;           //2,1 is 2nd row, 3rd column

The third column is correctly populated with the image, but I have this code duplicated 26 more times. For simplicity sake I just want to know if their is a simpler way of doing this, such as making an array or inserting the images directly to my database. I apologize if this is a novice question, by I am relatively new to C#.

Thanks!

I would suggest using Directory.GetFiles(path); which gives you array of all files in directory. Using this, you don’t need to worry about the name of the files to be image1,image2,..

string path = @"C:\Project\Images\";
            string[] arr =  Directory.GetFiles(path);
            for (int i = 0 ; i < arr.Length ; i++)
            {
                Bitmap img = new Bitmap(Path.Combine(path , arr[i]));
                DataGridView [2, i].Value = img;
            }
