programatically retrieving images in resources

I am getting an invalid cast - I was wondering if this is even possible or is there a better way to do this

 private void dgvCurrentUnSerialized_DataBindingComplete(object sender, DataGridViewBindingCompleteEventArgs e)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < dgvCurrentUnSerialized.Rows.Count; i++)
            {
                DataGridViewImageCell cell = dgvCurrentUnSerialized.Rows[i].Cells[0] as DataGridViewImageCell;
                var value = "(System.Drawing.Image)Properties.Resources._" + Convert.ToString(dgvCurrentUnSerialized.Rows[i].Cells[5].Value) + "_sm";
                cell.Value = value;
 
         }
}

You're setting the value of the column as a string with the code you should be calling ion the C#...
As far as I understood from the code, the cell has the image name and you want to use it to get the image from an embedded resource?

yes but how? is the question. How do I dynamically get an item from the resource table if I want to "build" the name of the resource

What do you have? A resource file with images inside or the images in the project as embedded resource?

This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.
