Dynamically change listview icon size in c#

I'm trying to make a listview with options. One of the option is to change icon size. I tried to make the change like this :
this.listview1.LargeImageList.ImageSize = this.list.SmallImageList.ImageSize = new Size(h, w);
This changed the image size, but the image disappeared. Can anyone help me ?

Please take a look at the following link, I think it should be useful:
How to Change existing Imagelist image size of Listview
use the following code. it works for me :
listView1.View = View.LargeIcon;
ImageList iList = new ImageList();
iList.ImageSize = new Size(128, 128);
iList.ColorDepth = ColorDepth.Depth32Bit;
iList.Images.Add(Properties.Resources.x64_Clear_icon);
listView1.LargeImageList = iList;

Adding a group of images to ListView

I have a ListView and a List<Image> (there are 3 images in the list). I'm trying to add all the images to the ListView and currently this is what I have:
foreach (Image image in ListOfImages)
{
PictureBox pictureBox = new PictureBox();
pictureBox.BackColor = Color.Gray;
pictureBox.Width = 200;
pictureBox.Height = 200;
pictureBox.Image = image;
pictureBox.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.Zoom;
listView1.Controls.Add(pictureBox);
}
And this is what it looks like in the end:
That image is the first one in my list. The other two aren't visible. Is there a reason why the others aren't showing up?

I think microsoft has a better solution to offer - ImageList.
Why can't you use the ImageList?
I can help you one that
First create an Imagelist control from Toolbox.
Set your istview's imagelist.
e.g. listView1.LargeImageList = imageList1;
foreach (Image image in ListOfImages)
{
imageList1.Images.Add(image);
}
Add list Items to your list control and mention the respective image index.
listView1.Items.Add(key, text, imageindex);
Hope this helps!

Ok, I've found that the correct answer for what I want to do is to not use a ListView but to instead use a FlowLayoutPanel. The code above will work exactly the same way, except instead of listView1 it should be flowLayoutPanel1 (or whatever the name of the FlowLayoutPanel is)

Populating winform ListView from Calling External Class, not adding image and text

I am trying to add a new image list with text describing each image below each image. I have set the listview to large icons and tried many other attempts to get preview images back into the first form.
I have been able to either
1. get very small images into the list view
2. get just the text into the listview
3. get the very tiny images again with text first then the images, not together.
I have tried all the overloaded methods and I am still at a loss as to why i can't even get a Properties.resources.image in as an image placeholder. except as a tiny image. And yes I have set the listview large icon mode and tried the imageSize properties, nothing works. Also some attempts usually with a technique that appears like it is following an explanation on here fails to show anything in the listview on the frstForm.
Any hints would be appreciated.
public ImageList imageList_c = new ImageList();
private Family_Loader_ExtEventDialog _frstForm;
foreach (KeyValuePair<string, Bitmap> kvp in element_Dict(_doc_new, BuiltInCategory.OST_Walls))
{
//imageList_c.ImageSize = new Size(120, 120);
//imageList_c.Images.Add(kvp.Key, Properties.Resources.folder);
_frstForm.listView_Family.Items.Add(kvp.Key);
}
//_frstForm.listView_Family.LargeImageList = imageList_c;

imageList_c.Images.Add(kvp.Key, kvp.Value);
_frstForm.listView_Family.View = System.Windows.Forms.View.LargeIcon;
_frstForm.listView_Family.LargeImageList = imageList_c;
for (int i = 0; i < imageList_c.Images.Count; i++)
{
ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem();
item.ImageIndex = i;
item.Text = imageList_c.Images.Keys[i];
_frstForm.listView_Family.Items.Add(item);
}

fill datagridview column with images from image path column

I have Access table with fields, in which there is some data and path to the image.
I've created DataGridViewImageColumn, and then I have no idea, how to load some image from some path, and how to work with it.
here is the form
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/833/97095287.jpg/
the field with path is hidden, and you see, there is some image column

here is the sample code of how to put images in a cell in a DataGridViewImageColumn
private void createGraphicsColumn()
{
Icon treeIcon = new Icon(this.GetType(), "tree.ico");
DataGridViewImageColumn iconColumn = new DataGridViewImageColumn();
iconColumn.Image = treeIcon.ToBitmap();
iconColumn.Name = "Tree";
iconColumn.HeaderText = "Nice tree";
dataGridView1.Columns.Insert(2, iconColumn);
}

how to add an image and item to a imageComboxBoxEdit

I have been trying and trying and looking for ways/tutorials on how to add an image and text item to a imageComboBoxEdit I even read the documentation, but that didn't really help. I used an imageList then I added Resource.Black; to the imageList however when I try to add it to the text via this
private void AddItems(ImageComboBoxEdit editor, ImageList imgList)
{
for(int i = 0; i < 10 ; i++)
editor.Properties.Items.Add(new ImageComboBoxItem("Item " + (i + 1).ToString(), i, i));
editor.Properties.SmallImages = imgList;
}
then doing AddItems(imageComboBoxEdit1, imageList1); it works fine for the text items but if I add a bunch of images to the ImageList it just deletes all the text items and doesn't display items in it at all.
Bottom line: I NEED HELP! lol
Any and all help will be appreciated! :D thanks

With the designer:
Drop an image list on the form and added an image to it.
In the properties window for the imageComboBoxEdit expand properties set SmallImages to the ImageList added to the form.
Click on the browse button for the Items Property
Click add, to create a new item, fill in description (text to display) and the imageIndex for the image in the image list, and a value. I usually use the same number for the value as the imageIndex.
Or in code, still assuming that the image list was added to the form and has an image in it.
ImageComboBoxItem someItem = new ImageComboBoxItem();
someItem.Description = "Text To Display";
someItem.ImageIndex = 0;
someItem.Value = 0;
imageComboBoxEdit1.Properties.Items.Add(someItem);
For this example, I just did this during form load.
