Hi everybody,
I hava a long list with DB entries which contains a URL to a related picture. Now I want display all the information in a Gridview and give the user the opportunity to get a preview of the picture at mouseover. Unforunally the ImageColumn loads the pictures syncronous, so the GUI will only show up when all pictures are downloaded and there are no mouseover-events.
Picturebox loads the pictures in the background and supoorts mouseover events. Now I want a pictureBox Control in a GridView-Cell... is this possible? And if yes, how?
Thank you for your assistance.

Hello Moritz,
Thank you for writing.
Putting PictureBoxes in RadGridView will not make the grid load the images asynchronously. Additionally it is not recommended to nest controls within RadControls. RadControls are composed of elements and it is preferable that you nest only elements within them.
What you can do, is to show the picture in a screen tip or create a custom cell element that would load the images asynchronously. I have attached a sample project which demonstrates how a custom cell element could load the images asynchronously and cache them.
I hope this will be useful for you. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.
Kind regards,

Hello, Ali,
The project does not run since this is quite an old post and the referred web images are not available anymore. Feel free to replace the old URLs with new existing ones and the project will run as expected demonstrating RadGridView with images loaded asynchronously.
Please let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Nadya
