Dynamic Row Template in GridView

[Erik]

Good Afternoon,
I am trying to figure out how to dynamically create a TemplateColumn based
on a record's field value. If the record has a DataType of Number or Text, I
would like a textbox to render. If the record's DataType is List, a
DropDownList would be rendered. All the examples I have been studying deal
with columns, where these controls need to be defined for each row.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Erik

Good Morning Phillip,
Thanks for the response. The columns for this GridView are going to always
be the same, one column for the question, one column for the response. Each
row in the GridView has to be rendered differently based on the record's
data. It looks like I can use the GridView_RowDataBound, but I am having
difficuly how to dynamically add one column for the text of the question, and
the second column for the control (either a textbox or dropdownlist) to
capture the answer.
Thanks,
Erik
