Problem with dataGridView column type...

[mynkow]

Hi,
I have a simple problem. I have a DataGridView populated from dataSet. I want to change the type of one of the columns from text to combo. All cells in that column will contain same data.

dgwEmployersList.DataSource                = Employee.getAllEmployers();
dgwEmployersList.DataMember                = "employer";
 
dgwEmployersList.SelectionMode            = DataGridViewSelectionMode.FullRowSelect;
dgwEmployersList.MultiSelect            = false;
dgwEmployersList.EditMode                = DataGridViewEditMode.EditOnEnter;
dgwEmployersList.Font                    = new Font( "Arial", 10 );
 
dgwEmployersList.Columns[0].HeaderText    = "ID";
dgwEmployersList.Columns[0].Width        = 50;
dgwEmployersList.Columns[0].ReadOnly    = true;
 
dgwEmployersList.Columns[1].HeaderText    = "Name";
dgwEmployersList.Columns[1].Width        = 200;
 
dgwEmployersList.Columns[2].HeaderText    = "Post";
dgwEmployersList.Columns[2].Width        = 100;
I want to change this column's type to combo...???How???
 
 

Thanks...
