{
    CommandField field = new CommandField();
    field.ButtonType = ButtonType.Image;
    field.SelectImageUrl = "~/Images/MyPic.GIF";
    field.ShowSelectButton = true;
    field.HeaderText = "Select";
    GridView1.Columns.Add(field);
    GridView1.DataBind();
}

VB.NET

If (Not Page.IsPostBack) Then
    Dim field As New CommandField()
    field.ButtonType = ButtonType.Image
    field.SelectImageUrl = "~/Images/MyPic.GIF"
