[2008] Backgroundworker : load datagridview rows with image thumbnails

What is the best way of quickly loading a datagridview with thumbnails of images and filenames/paths found within a particular folder using a backgroundworker without affecting UI performance ?

While loading, I'd like to continuously filter the dgv's image column through a textbox to display results as the user is typing.

Appreciate any help.

Are you certain there will only be pictures in that folder? And I'm not entirely sure how you want to add thumbnails to a datagridview. Perhaps you should be looking at a ListView instead.

I don't know if a listview can be filtered ?
