At First: IconView is used to Display Icons (Images). So your model
(ListStore) should contain some Images.

  this.store = new ListStore(typeof(string), typeof (Gdk.Pixbuf),
typeof(string));
  // append some values here


Then you have to tell the IconView in which colums of your model it can find
the needed information.
MarkupColumn	int. Contains the number of the model column containing markup
information to be displayed.
PixbufColumn	int. Contains the number of the model column containing the
pixbufs which are displayed

For Example:
this.iconview1.MarkupColumn = 0; // the info string
this.iconview1.PixbufColumn = 1; // this has to the column with the
Gdk.Pixbuf

Then your iconview should display the string in column 0 as an info, and the
Pixbuf in Column 1 as the Icon.

Hope that helps.
