I have a list of items in a GridView, with one column I’d like editable through a DropDownList.

I do not wish to put the GridView into ‘edit’ mode or have any ‘confirm/update/save’ buttons.. I just want autopostback on the DDL, and an OnSelectedIndexChangedevent to update the row.

Problem is, from my OnSelectedIndexChangedevent within the DDL, although I can see the new value to save, I can’t discover the row to update from the GridView.

Can anyone see how I can achieve what I wish? Other than perhaps storing the row id within the DDL? Maybe turn it around so the GridView’s events are called?

I guess this kind of questions comes from starting with ms-access 🙂

Cheers!

    Typically, you’d rebind the GridView with the data again to do this. You could also try looping up to the GridViewRow by accessing the DropDownList’s Parent property; if you do enough parent references (ddl.Parent.Parent), eventually, one of those parent references is the GridViewRow.

    HTH.
