I suggest pass the image name as parameter to GetImagePath Try this:

public string GetImagePath(string imageName)
{
   return VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute("~/images/" + imageName);
}

VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute(string) converts a virtual path to an application absolute path. So you will get something like "/images/yourimage.jpg".

you need write down in you function like this 

public string GetImage(string name)
{
  string path = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath(("~/Admin/Images/" , name)); 
  return path;
}

or

you can also do like this 

void GrdVw_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if(e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        Image rowImage = (Image) e.Row.FindControl("currentDocFile");
        rowImage.ImageUrl = whatever;
    }
}
