displaying dropdownlist instead of textbox for editing in gridview

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have a table EMP_TAB with columns as NAME, ADDRESS, CITY, PHONE.
I want something like this:

I have bound a gridview with the datasource of above table, EMP_TAB
When I click on EDIT in gridview than instead of a textbox, I want a dropdownlist to be displayed for changing the CITY.
The content for that dropdownlist for CITY should be obtained from EMP_TAB

Please, if anybody can shed some light on this.

:)
Thanks

Hi
You should use

XML

<EditTemplate>
      <asp:DropDownList runat="server" id="drpCity"></asp:DropDownList>
</EditTemplate>

Refer following link:
GridView Examples for ASP.NET 2.0: Editing the Underlying Data in a GridView[^]

Please do let me know, if you have any doubt.
