This demo shows how the Telerik WebForms Avatar Control can be used inside the Telerik WebForms Grid.

You can use the ASP.NET inline expressions, more specifically the <%# ... %> data-binding expression to set the Avatar properties.

For example
Image='<%# Eval("ImageUrl") %>'

With that in mind, you can place the Avatar within the Server Templates of another Control (e.g. Grid) and use the Bind expression to populate the Avatar's properties.
