about template field gridview

Hi all!
for my website for filling the vendor info i take a template field gridview.It contains 4 fields like item code,item name, vendor item code, vendor item cost.
I want that the first field item code(a dropdown list) show all the itemid s from table base_product. so for binding it i right click the drop-down list go to edit template, choose the column name & do all things required to bind a data source to a drop-down list.but at end it is showing "databound"but the data is not shown.
another field item name( a textbox) should also fill like that.The remaining fields should be manually filled by the user.so wht should i do now?Does the template field gridview works in this context? or there is anothe code?
Help me guys!!!

you should bind the data to combobox after grid view is read with empty cobobox you should write the bind code in gridview rowbound event by finding the combox reference like combobx cmb=gridview.findControl("id");
                  cmb.datasource=ds.tables[0];
               cmb.textfeild="item cost"
          cmb.databind();
may be it will work
