How to show icon and text in the same cell?

  The DataGridView control does not have any built-in support for showing an icon and text in the same cell. Through the different painting customization events, such as the CellPainting event, you can easily display an icon next to the text in the cell. 

     The following example extends the DataGridViewTextColumn and cell to paint an image next to the text. The sample uses the DataGridViewCellStyle.Padding property to adjust the text location and overrides the Paint method to paint an icon. This sample can be simplified by handling the CellPainting event and performing similar code.
     public class TextAndImageColumn : DataGridViewTextBoxColumn
        {
            private Image imageValue;
            private Size imageSize;

            public TextAndImageColumn()
            {
                this.CellTemplate = new TextAndImageCell();
            }

            public override object Clone()
            {
                TextAndImageColumn c = base.Clone() as TextAndImageColumn;
                c.imageValue = this.imageValue;
                c.imageSize = this.imageSize;
                return c;
            }

            public Image Image
            {
                get { return this.imageValue; }
                set
                {
                    if (this.Image != value)
                    {
                        this.imageValue = value;
                        this.imageSize = value.Size;

                        if (this.InheritedStyle != null)
                        {
                            Padding inheritedPadding = this.InheritedStyle.Padding;
                            this.DefaultCellStyle.Padding = new Padding(imageSize.Width,
                         inheritedPadding.Top, inheritedPadding.Right,
                         inheritedPadding.Bottom);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            private TextAndImageCell TextAndImageCellTemplate
            {
                get { return this.CellTemplate as TextAndImageCell; }
            }
            internal Size ImageSize
            {
                get { return imageSize; }
            }
        }

Hi! I'm Java...

Java is a computer programming language. It enables programmers to write computer instructions using English based commands, instead of having to write in numeric codes. It’s known as a “high-level” language because it can be read and written easily by humans. Like English, Java has a set of rules that determine how the instructions are written. These rules are known as its “syntax”. Once a program has been written, the high-level instructions are translated into numeric codes that computers can understand and execute. Who Created Java? In the early nineties, Java was created by a team led by James Gosling for Sun Microsystems. It was originally designed for use on digital mobile devices, such as cell phones. However, when Java 1.0 was released to the public in 1996, its main focus had shifted to use on the Internet. It provided more interactivity with users by giving developers a way to produce animated webpages . Over the years it has evolved as a successful language for

I'm the Server Operating System

Server Operating System A server operating system is software that was especially developed to serve as a platform for running multi-user computer programs, applications that are networked and programs critical to business computing. This type of operating system (OS) often comes bundled with the most common types of applications deployed in the client-server model, a term used to indicate the exchange of information between computers. For example, a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) or web server hosts or "holds" the text files, images files and scripts that work together to form a website. When someone connects to the Internet and types in a web address, the server that holds the files of the site delivers or "serves" the requested pages to the client computer or the machine that made the request. Frequently used applications in the client-server model handle operations for sharing files and printers across a network, hosting and serving web pages via the
