Good Day MediaMan

This can be accomplished by Template Fields like this

       <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Parent" SortExpression="Parent">

                                        <ItemTemplate>

 <asp:DropDownList ID="drplstparent" runat="server" BackColor="Transparent">

                                     </asp:DropDownList>

                                     </ItemTemplate>

                                    </asp:TemplateField>

Now to bind this , you have to go to the server side, on the rowdatabind event of your grid and bind the grid like this

               if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) //skip header row

                {   

                      DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)e.Row.Cells[2].FindControl("drplstparent");

 ddl.DataTextField = "Descr";

                       ddl.DataValueField = "ID";

                       ddl.DataBind();

}

I have a dropdownlist within my editable gridview.The datasource of the gridview is a datatable method which accepts as a parameter the text of the lable of one of the columns in the gridview.I'm using the code below to try this task but it is not working.

protected void gvServices_DataBinding(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{//gvServices is a gridview name
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)e.Row.Cells[3].FindControl("DDLServType");
Label lbl = (Label)e.Row.Cells[2].FindControl("lblServiceName");
string servicename= lbl.Text;
ddl.DataSource = st.getServiceTypes(servicename);
ddl.DataBind();
}
}
