can't add images to GridView

[gib65]

Hello,

I have a DataGrid web control on my ASPX page. It has a column (titled "Active") that set to ImageField.

DataGrid.png

In my code, I'm trying to set the content the cells in this column to an image. It's not working. I'm doing this:

System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image checkMarkImage = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image();
checkMarkImage.ImageUrl = "C:\\CoreDataProject\\MAIN\\src\\ProjectApp\\ProjectApp\\images\\checkmark.gif";

...

DataTable myTable = new DataTable();

...

myTable.Columns.Add("Active", typeof(System.Web.UI.WebControl.Image));

...

DataRow row = myTable.NewRow();

...

row["Active"] = checkMarkImage;
myTable.Rows.Add(row);

...

UserGrid.DataSource = myTable; // UserGrid is the asp:GridView
UserGrid.DataBind();

Nothing shows up under the Active column.

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
