Hello, Marcio,

GridViewImageColumn displays read-only images for database columns of Image data type (OLE container or BLOB). 

I have prepared a sample code snippet demonstrating how to display a SVG image inside a CellElement by specifying its SvgImage property: 

    Sub New()

        InitializeComponent()
        RadControl.EnableSvgImages = True
        Dim colIdiomaOriginalSvg As New GridViewImageColumn("IdiomaOriginalFoto")
        colIdiomaOriginalSvg.DataType = GetType(RadSvgImage) 

        If Me.RadGridView1.Columns.Count = 0 Then
            Me.RadGridView1.MasterTemplate.Columns.Add(colIdiomaOriginalSvg)
        End If

        AddHandler Me.RadGridView1.CellFormatting, AddressOf RadGridView1_CellFormatting

        Dim fotoDtpSvg As RadSvgImage = RadSvgImage.FromFile("..\..\computer.svg")
        Me.RadGridView1.Rows.Add(fotoDtpSvg)
        fotoDtpSvg = RadSvgImage.FromFile("..\..\atom.svg")
        Me.RadGridView1.Rows.Add(fotoDtpSvg)

        Me.RadGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill
        Me.RadGridView1.TableElement.RowHeight = 200
        Me.RadGridView1.AllowAddNewRow = False

    End Sub

    Private Sub RadGridView1_CellFormatting(sender As Object, e As CellFormattingEventArgs)
        If e.Column.Name = "IdiomaOriginalFoto" Then
            e.CellElement.SvgImage = e.CellElement.Value
        End If

    End Sub

More information about the vector images is available in the following help article:
