Editable Datagrid DropDownList

[anon]

Hi All,
I have an editable datagrid in which one of the fields becomes a Drop
dowl list in edit mode....i followed the example in the $ guysfrom rolla
article
http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/050801-1.2.shtml
however one of them is not really populated from the database, and hence
no need of a dataview...i would like to assign an array or arraylist
alone to it, however it gives all sorts of errors....the code is as
follows

<asp:TemplateCo lumn HeaderText="Zon e">
<ItemTemplate >
<asp:Label ID="lblZone" Runat="server">
<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item,"cZone") %>
</asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTempla te>
<asp:DropDownLi st ID="ddl1" Runat="server"
DataTextField=" c1Zone" DataSource="<%# zoned%>"></asp:DropDownLis t>
</EditItemTemplat e>
</asp:TemplateCol umn>
public void zone()
{
ArrayList zoned = new ArrayList();
zoned.Add("GMT-05:00(E.S.T)");
zoned.Add("GMT-04:00(Atlantic Time)");
zoned.Add("GMT+ 10:00(Australia )");
zoned.Add("GMT+ 05:30(Asia)");
zoned.Add("GMT-06:00(Central)" );
zoned.Add("GMT-08:00(Pacific)" );

}
Any ideas or links to articles will be helpful...
thanks
Ben
