C# - Datagrid - using dropdownlists?

[Marlene Harkcom]

I've got a datagrid with 5 bound columns in it as well as
an edit/update/cancel column. I'm binding this to a
dataset. One of the fields is always going to be one of
three values.
I want the user to be able to hit the edit button and have
this particular column become a drop down list where the
true value is selected, but they can choose one of the
other two values. I've been able to add a dropdownlist
column as a template column, but it is an editable
dropdownlist all of the time- I don't want that. I also
wasn't able to bind the value in the list to the value
from the database. I only want it to be a drop down list
when the person chooses "edit".

Can anyone *please* help me out?

Hi guys!

I created a control that works like an AJAX container. Basically the way it works is that all the ASP.NET controls that you place inside of the AJAX container will automatically become AJAX enabled.

For example, if you need to create a web form with three dropdownlists and you want the picked value of one DDL affects the items in the others DDLs (like in an auto dealer website) all you need to do is make sure you move these three dropdownlists into this AJAX container control. The way you code and setup the three dropdownlists remains exactly the same. The container control injects the necessary AJAX functions.

I uploaded this control and posted some walkthrough tutorials at http://www.KYNOU.com

Check it out!
