there is a way to do this.
the way we solved the problem where I work is we created a
generic DataGrid class and a column template class.
In the ColumnTemplate class in the InstantiateIn method we
set the event handler for the "parent" DropDownList.
Then define the event handler, you can populate a "child"
DropDownList based on what is selected in the "parent".
I have an example if you need one.
Email me at

more help.

Is there no work around for this?

I have asked this question on about every board I can
think of and I have yet to get an answer, so If anyone
would know I imagine it would be here.
I have a datagrid, and inside of it in an edit item
template I have a drop down list, I want to be able to
have that dropdown autopostback and run its
selectedindexchanged event so that I can populate an addition
dropdown.
From what I can tell when I do selected a different item
it does postback but the selectedindex changed event
neverfires.
Is this even possible inside of a datagrids edit item
template?
Have I been wasting my time trying to figure this out?
To give a little more insight of what I want this thing
todo:
I have a dropdown called Entity and in that dropdown I
have Merchant, Customer... When the user selects
MerchantI need an additional dropdown to pupolate with all the
merchant id's I have in the database, same for
customers ...
Can anyone lend a hand or at least point me in a
directionto get this problem solved.
thanks
