converting fields in a gridview

[bomayed]

in a grid view when I click on the (edit ) link , the content are displayed in a small text box , how can I change the size of this text box and make it multi line ?

I know it's possible by using a template field , but I don't want to waste the time by creating a template field for each box . .


does anyone know how to do this ?

you only have to make the template field one time

It's not a waste of time. You must use a template column in order to customize it. That's why it's called a 'template' column.

why can't I just right click on a field and convert it to checkbox or dropdown list

ok then , I'll go with the template

why can't i just right-click in the IDE and have it write my program?

Because if it were that easy, I wouldn't get paid this much.
