dropdownlist in a datagrid

[bob]

I thought I saw this somewhere, but I want to have a
dropdownlist in a datagrid. I have the column as an Item
template, but when I paste in the code for a dropdown
list funky things seem to happen.

does anyone have an example of this?

also - i do not want the user to hit edit on each line
before seeing the drop down list. I would rather them
just see the list and then pick what they want. I have a
save button for the whole form rather than line by line

thanks

bob

Here is what I found by searching in Google

Adding a DropDownList to an Editable Datasgrid.

what I am looking for is that the user does not have to press edit to
see the list. they will update a list of things all at once with a
submit button, however for one column i need a drop down list that is
ALWAYS visible without hitting edit - and of course selected on the
right one!

this was pretty simple stuff in asp and seems like a nightmare in .net
