Don't try to convert it to a string!
What you get from a DB for an Image is an array of bytes - which the DGV will display as an Image.
To use that as an Image in isolation, you need to convert the bytes to an Image via a MemoryStream:

C#

byte[] bytes = (byte[]) myDataGridView.Rows[rowAddr].Cells[cellAddr].Value;
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(bytes);
myPictureBox.Image = Image.FromStream(ms);

Hi.
I user this code, but error in Image ("Image.FromStream(ms)
Can you help me?

Let me guess ... the error is a "Parameter is not valid" exception?

What that means is that your code is very likely wide open to SQL Injection which will let any user damage or destroy your database when he feels like it. Never concatenate strings to build a SQL command. It leaves you wide open to accidental or deliberate SQL Injection attack which can destroy your entire database. Use Parametrized queries instead.

Now, to fix the problem, see here:

And read it all, not just skim the highlights and copy the code...

I have this code for those colluns
txtIDMovie.Text = dgvMovies.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[0].Value.ToString();
txtNameMovie.Text = dgvMovies.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[1].Value.ToString();
txtRealizador.Text = dgvMovies.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[2].Value.ToString();
txtCatMovies.Text = dgvMovies.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[3].Value.ToString();
txtAnoMovie.Text = dgvMovies.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[4].Value.ToString();
txtClassIdade.Text = dgvMovies.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[5].Value.ToString();
txtClassIMDB.Text = dgvMovies.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[6].Value.ToString();
cbFormato.Text = dgvMovies.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[7].Value.ToString();

And i tested your code for show image in picture box

Follow the link I gave you, and read it. Your code doesn't even try to display an image ... or show any database manipulation ...
