I have a hierarchical webgrid that contains a series of data-bound column.  One of these columns displays one of 2 images, depending on the value of the underlying data.

I need to export this grid to excel and either preserve the images or put text in their place... or... failing both those options, I could get away with just applying a different format to the entire row in excel.

My issue is, when you open the exported excel document, the column that contained the image is there but each cell in that column is empty.  I can't find any information on how to preserve images during an export or other options that may be available.

The images are in a templated column - I have other templated columns in the grid (they contain custom controls) and they export fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
