DataGridView Image Button Column

One way this can be achieved is to simply override Paint method from DataGridViewButtonCell and and call DrawImage form the graphics parameter. The call must occur after base call.

public class DeleteCell : DataGridViewButtonCell {
        Image del = Image.FromFile("..\\..\\img\\delete.ico");
        protected override void Paint(Graphics graphics, Rectangle clipBounds, Rectangle cellBounds, int rowIndex, DataGridViewElementStates elementState, object value, object formattedValue, string errorText, DataGridViewCellStyle cellStyle, DataGridViewAdvancedBorderStyle advancedBorderStyle, DataGridViewPaintParts paintParts)
        {
            base.Paint(graphics, clipBounds, cellBounds, rowIndex, elementState, value, formattedValue, errorText, cellStyle, advancedBorderStyle, paintParts);
            graphics.DrawImage(del, cellBounds);
        }
    }

After that simply create your own DataGridViewButtonColumn, and set created DeleteCell as the cell template:

public class DeleteColumn : DataGridViewButtonColumn {
        public DeleteColumn() {
            this.CellTemplate = new DeleteCell();
            this.Width = 20;
            //set other options here 
        }
    }

That's it. Now use DeleteColumn for your DataGridView:

dgvBookings.Columns.Add(new DeleteColumn());

If the resulting action of button click depends on cell row, make sure to handle the clicks right, that is, to catch the cell row index.

You can use customize DataGridViewImage class that inhrit from DataGridViewImageButtonCell class as below

public class DataGridViewImageButtonDeleteCell : DataGridViewImageButtonCell
{
    public override void LoadImages()
    {
       // Load them from a resource file, local file, hex string, etc.          
    }
}

Simply create datatablewith image column and add image to it

dtMain.Columns.Add("ImageColumn", typeof(Image));

dtMain.Rows.Add(Image.FromFile(photopath + "1.jpg"));

Then On event dataGridViewMain_CellContentClick write following code

  if (e.ColumnIndex == dataGridViewMain.Columns["ImageColumn"].Index)
  {
  lblShowCellData.Text = dataGridViewMain.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells["CustomerName"].Value.ToString();
  // Do some thing else....
  }
