Gridview with DropDownList

[rwiegel]

I am trying to use a dropdownlist inside of a gridview. I want the
gridview to display some value as a label until the user clicks the
edit button for that row. Then I want to populate the dropdownlist
with some values from a table. I have tried a few different
approaches and have not been able to get anything to work. Can
someone tell me what the "best" approach is? I can then try it or
post the code I'm having trouble with.

Thanks

Hello,

If you are using ASP .net 2.0, it's easy, create two item templates one for
edit and the other for editing, in the other hand and the dropdown in the
editing one, about how this works:

Another thing a bit more difficult is to use cascading combos.

Good Luck
