How to use a DropDownList in a GridView?

[S_K]

I have a GridView that has a DropDownList in one of the columns.
When I edit and update any row I would like to grab the SelectedValue
of that DropDownList when I'm in the GridView_RowUpdating event.

Any ideas?

Hi,

You can refer to the following code to get the SelectedValue of the
DropDownList in the GridView_RowUpdating event.

Protected Sub GridView1_RowUpdating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewUpdateEventArgs) Handles
GridView1.RowUpdating
Dim s As String =
CType(GridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).FindControl("DropDownList1"),
DropDownList).SelectedValue.ToString()
Response.Write(s)
End Sub

Hope this helps.

Hi,

If you also want to know how you can use the DropDownList control in
GridView control then you can add a TemplateField in the GridView control and
then add the DropdwonList control in the ItemTemplate of that template column.
