DropDown List in DataGrid

How can I put dropdown list in a datagrid while editing it?

Use a template column, here's an example where I use a hyperlink with a combobox for editing:

Code:

---

<asp:TemplateColumn SortExpression="Submitter_ID" HeaderText="Sub Id">
        <HeaderStyle Width="10%"></HeaderStyle>
        <ItemStyle Width="10%"></ItemStyle>
        <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Hyperlink runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Submitter_ID") %>' NavigateUrl='<%# "Submitter.aspx?id=" & DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Submitter_ID") %>'/>
        </ItemTemplate>
        <EditItemTemplate>
                <asp:dropdownlist runat="server" DataValueField="Submitter_ID" Width="100%" DataSource="<%# BindSubmitterIds() %>" SelectedIndex='<%# GetSubIdIndex(Container.DataItem("Submitter_ID")) %>' />
        </EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

---

you missed off the ID.

Code:

---

<asp:dropdownlist id="ddl_Items"

---

To get the values of this you can then do something like:

Code:

---

For Each Item As DataGridItem In DataGrid1.Items
  Dim ddl As DropDownList = Item.FindControl("ddl_Items")
Next

---

or c#

Code:

---

foreach(DataGridItem Item In DataGrid1)
{
  DropDownList ddl = Item.FindControl("ddl_Items");
}

---

Hope that helps.
