Drop down lists and Grid View

Hi

I have a sql data source that is pointing to a table which is accessed
through a grid view.

My goal is to have one of the columns in this table be populated as a
drop down list from another table.

Then I edit the template fields and choose another data source for the
template field.

However when I use the field in a browser to update it gives me an
error.

appreciate your help.

regards

Check out this code sample from ASPNet101.com:
http://www.aspnet101.com/aspnet101/a...ode=EditDDL_GV

It shows how to use a DDL in an TemplateField, for editing
