I would recommend using the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn class. Here is
the link to the documentation:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...boxcolumn.aspx
To elaborate on the list of steps in order to use the class:
Create a DataGridView.
Set the DataSource property of the DataGridView.
- This is the source of the data on the grid view.
Create a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn.
If the data source contains multiple properties or columns, set the
DataPropertyName property to the name of the property or column for
populating the cell values.
Use the DataSource or Items properties to establish the selections.
- This is the source of the list data (from which your values come from)
on the DataGriViewComboBoxColumn.
Use the ValueMember and DisplayMember properties to establish a mapping
between cell values and what will be displayed on the screen.
Hope this helps.

Hi All,
I am using a database which doesn't suppport and since I am using ORM I
can not use join query to create table object mapping. So my question
is
I have a master table which has bunch of columns I want to display. Of
those 3 of them are integer columns, which needed to be translated into
string by looking up on a reference table. How can I translate the
integer values to string after the table is fetched and put in the
datagridview?? I can read the reference table and put it in memory for
look up but I couldn't translate the columns in the datagridview to
string.. Any help please??
Thanks.
