"There is no recommended way to do this. The DataGridView only supports hosting a user control as an editing control when a cell is in edit mode. Regarding shared rows/cells. When a row becomes unshared the grid raises the RowUnshared event. To unshare a row, the grid calls the row's clone method which in turn clones all its cells.

For a databound grid, the cells to not get their values set since the cells do not store any data -- the underlying datasource stores the data. In the SetValue and GetValue code for a cell it checks to see if the cell/column/grid is databound and if so just retrieves or sets the value to the datasource. This is why you do not get a SetValue call with values as the grid is being displayed. The cell's GetValue method will be called as the grid is being displayed, so maybe you can use that?"
