Answer 1

Getting the image file path can be done using OpenFileDialog.
This answer can help you getting file path Extracting Path from OpenFileDialog path/filename

1) You can copy them using File.Copy(path, path2) function to your app directory :

string path = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();

2) You need to use Bitmap to get your image loaded from its file path :

Bitmap myBmp = Bitmap.FromFile("path here");

And then you can add it to a DataGridView assuming that contains DataGridViewImageColumn

yourDataGridView.Rows.Add(<column1 value>, <column2 value>, myBmp, <column3 value>, <column4 value>);
