Question

Hi
I have such requirement, but I don’t know whether it could be implemented or not:
A grid view with 4 columns: column 1, column2, column3 and column4. Among the 4 columns, for column 3, each cell contains a dropdown list control. Is this possible?

Thanks!

1. if you are using web application, you can use the DataGrid1_ItemDataBound event:

if(e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem ||
e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item)
{
string[] options = { “Option1”, “Option2”, “Option3” };

  DropDownList list = (DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("ItemDropDown");
  list.DataSource = options;
  list.DataBind();

}
else if(e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Header)
{
string[] options = { “OptionA”, “OptionB”, “OptionC” };

  DropDownList list = (DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("HeaderDropDown");
  list.DataSource = options;
  list.DataBind();

1. if you are using windows app you have to design the column with type of dataggridcell.
