dropdownlist in a datagrid

bob
I thought I saw this somewhere, but I want to have a
dropdownlist in a datagrid. I have the column as an Item
template, but when I paste in the code for a dropdown
list funky things seem to happen.

does anyone have an example of this?

also - i do not want the user to hit edit on each line
before seeing the drop down list. I would rather them
just see the list and then pick what they want. I have a
save button for the whole form rather than line by line

thanks

(http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/050801-1.shtml). Title is

what I am looking for is that the user does not have to press edit to
see the list. they will update a list of things all at once with a
submit button, however for one column i need a drop down list that is
ALWAYS visible without hitting edit - and of course selected on the
right one!

this was pretty simple stuff in asp and seems like a nightmare in .net

I am trying to dynamically build a dropdownlist and bind it to a cell in a grid. I tried to utilize the following code but I am stuck at the point where I bind the dropdownlist to the grid cell.

Hi guys, I'm not sure if this question belongs to FAQ, but I couldn't find a concrete answer. I created a Datagrid control using ItemTemplate, but it's NOT a in-place editing datagrid. One of the columns of the data grid contains a DropDownlist. I managed to create this datagrid control as follows.

I am sure this has come up before, but I haven't been able to find an answer as of yet. That said, any help is definitely appreciated! I have a datagrid populated from a dataset. I have a TemplateColumn with a DropDownList (DDL) in the FooterItemTemplate that is populated in the Page_Load event using a Sub Routine as the DataSource of the DDL. The FooterItemTemplate's DDL populates as expected when the DataGrid's DataBind method is called. ...

Hello and apologies in advance for the amount of code in this post. I've also sent this message to the Sharepoint group, but thought that ASP.NET developers may also be able to help, even though it's a Sharepoint WebPart.

When the user clicks to edit a row, three of...

I've discovered a very odd bug when attempting to put a dropdown list in a datagrid. In the page PreRender step, the selected index of the datagrid is successfully set during databinding. Yet, when the datagrid enters it's own OnPreRender, the selected index has reverted to zero. I created a debug version of the dropdown list which inherited from dropdownlist and overrode the selected index property to trace.write whenever it was...

Hi folks, I have a DropDownList in a DataGrid that is populated from records in a database. I want to add a value that might be a string such as "Select a Company" for the first item since an OnSelectedIndex event is not fired if you select the first item. Does anyone know of an easy way to do this?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
