Adding controls to DataGrid column

Hi, You haven't said if this is a WinFrom or WebForm...I'll assume a WebForm. The main thing is that you have to specify column names during the design phase...you can't just have a generic datagrid that figures columns out when data is fired at it. With your datagrid on the form in the designer, go to the properties tab. You should see the Property Builder....option at the bottom, select this. From here, you can add the columns to your control. For the column you want to have a combobox in, make sure it is a Template Column. Now move to the HTML of your page, and select the definition of your column. Adding the following (changing control to the one you want of course) should do the trick for you:

Regards,

See Windows Forms and ADO.NET sections for Windows Forms DataGrid. If you search this site, you can also find samples using Web Forms also.
