datagrid databind and child controls.

[John Blair]

Hi,

how do i reset a dropdownlist selectedindex value to a specific value - when
the dropdownlist isa in a custom grid header, is data bound, and the main
grid has been rebound to its datasource?

As i understand it when grid.databind is called the databind of all child
controls will be called. Now i am wondering how can i post process the
dropdownlist after the databind has happened.

I would prefer to post process than to have to data bind the selectedindex
proiperty of the dropdownlist whose vlaue i coudl set up before i databind
the main gird....any suggestions appreciated?

Thanks.
