The CellImage property gets or sets the image file name that will be displayed in cells that belong to a column. Simply set this property with the image file name such as shown in the following snippet code.

Example: Set CellImage property in aspx page.

<ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn Caption="CustomerID" DataMember="CustomerID" Name="CustomerID"
    Width="120px" ColumnType="ImageAndText" CellImage="images/user.gif">
</ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn>

Example: Set CellImage property in code behind (vb).

Protected Sub WebGrid1_InitializeRow(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.RowEventArgs)
    WebGrid1.RootTable.Columns.GetNamedItem("CustomerID").CellImage = "images/user2.gif"
    ' Alternatively can use following snippet to set the cell image
    'If e.Row.Type = ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.RowType.Record Then
    '    e.Row.Cells.GetNamedItem("CustomerID").Image = "images/user2.gif"
    'End If
End Sub

For more detail, please check the code behind in FirstExperience.aspx sample and NewButtonImageColumnType.aspx sample.

This should help.

Protected Sub WebGrid1_InitializeRow(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.RowEventArgs)
    If e.Row.Type = ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.RowType.Record Then
        Dim customerID As WebGridCell = e.Row.Cells.GetNamedItem("CustomerID")
        customerID.Image = "http://gkfahnbulleh-001-site16.smarterasp.net/content/media/00coverimages/dahlgren4.jpg"
        customerID.CustomObjectAttributes = "height=82 width=200"
    End If
End Sub

The above snippet code should do the trick. Please let us know if you have different result.

WebGrid has ButtonImage column type which may suit with your scenario, to put the image in an ImageButton. The following screenshot shows a WebGrid using ButtonImage column type in the first column.

The ButtonImage column type takes advantage of existing architecture such as ButtonAutoPostback property and ButtonPostbackMode property. The ButtonClick client side event is invoked as well for ButtonImage column type.

The sample ButtonImage definition in WebGridColumn is as following:

<ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn Width="30px" ColumnType="ButtonImage" 
    ButtonImage="images/info.gif" ButtonAutoPostback="true">
</ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn>

Hope this helps.

Could you please provide me with more detail information about which editor specified on the WebGridColumn object and the step-by-step to reproduce the reported problem? A working simple sample will helps much.

Look forward to hearing back from you.
