Hi,

Increase your griedview control width property.

to show controls side by side

ASP.NET

<footertemplate>
                          <table width="100%" align="center"><tr><td> <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlVendorname" runat="server" AppendDataBoundItems="true" DataSource='<%# GetVendor() %>'
                               DataTextField="VendorName" DataValueField="CusVenID">
                               <asp:ListItem Value="-1">-Select-
                           </td><td>
                           <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="reqfvVendorName" runat="server" ControlToValidate="ddlVendorname"
                               InitialValue="-1" ValidationGroup="FtrowValidation" ErrorMessage="select Vendor"
                               Display="Dynamic" Text="*">
</td></tr></table>
                       </footertemplate>

You can place the control in a column and validator in another column in a table

ASP.NET

<footertemplate>
<table><tr><td>
                           <asp:dropdownlist id="ddlVendorname" runat="server" appenddatabounditems="true" datasource="<%# GetVendor() %>" xmlns:asp="#unknown">
                               DataTextField="VendorName" DataValueField="CusVenID">
                               <asp:listitem value="-1">-Select-</asp:listitem>
                           </asp:dropdownlist></td><td>
                           <asp:requiredfieldvalidator id="reqfvVendorName" runat="server" controltovalidate="ddlVendorname" xmlns:asp="#unknown">
                               InitialValue="-1" ValidationGroup="FtrowValidation" ErrorMessage="select Vendor"
                               Display="Dynamic" Text="*"></asp:requiredfieldvalidator></td>
</tr></table>
                       </footertemplate>
