            string[] jpg = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.jpg", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

            string[] png = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.png", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

            string[] bmp = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.bmp", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

            string[] gif = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.gif", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

            int total=jpg.Length+png.Length+bmp.Length+gif.Length;

            Image[] image;

            List<Image> images = new List<Image>();

            for (int i = 0; i < total; i++)

            {

                images.Add(image[i]);

Answer 1

Try:

string path="C:\\Users\\Vio\\Desktop\\Gestiune asigurari auto\\imagini";

string[] jpg = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.jpg", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

string[] png = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.png", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

string[] bmp = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.bmp", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

string[] gif = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.gif", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

List<Image> images = new List<Image>();

foreach(string s in jpg) images.Add(Image.FromFile(s));

foreach(string s in png) images.Add(Image.FromFile(s));

foreach(string s in bmp) images.Add(Image.FromFile(s));

foreach(string s in gif) images.Add(Image.FromFile(s));

Answer 2

The column needs to be of type DataGridViewImageColumn for the images to show up.

Are you sure that this is what you've got?

Answer 3

doesn't work :(

Answer 4

Try:

 for (int i = 0; i < total; i++)

 {

     dgv.Rows[i].Cells["societate"].Value = images[i];

 }

Thanks! I have one last question, if you'd like to answer..I'm trying to add this images in datagridview cells. I've declared the column of type image. This is the code:

           Acasa main = (Acasa)Application.OpenForms["Acasa"];

            DataGridView dgv = main.politaGridView;

            List<Image> images = new List<Image>();

            string path = "C:\\Users\\Vio\\Desktop\\Gestiune asigurari auto\\imagini";

            string[] jpg = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.jpg", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

            string[] png = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.png", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

            string[] bmp = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.bmp", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

            string[] gif = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.gif", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

            int total = jpg.Length + png.Length + bmp.Length + gif.Length; 

            foreach (string s in jpg) images.Add(Image.FromFile(s));

            foreach (string s in png) images.Add(Image.FromFile(s));

            foreach (string s in bmp) images.Add(Image.FromFile(s));

            foreach (string s in gif) images.Add(Image.FromFile(s));

            for (int i = 0; i < total; i++)

            {

                dgv.Rows[i].Cells["societate"] =???

            }
