C# - Datagrid - using dropdownlists?

[Marlene Harkcom]

I've got a datagrid with 5 bound columns in it as well as
an edit/update/cancel column. I'm binding this to a
dataset. One of the fields is always going to be one of
three values.
I want the user to be able to hit the edit button and have
this particular column become a drop down list where the
true value is selected, but they can choose one of the
other two values. I've been able to add a dropdownlist
column as a template column, but it is an editable
dropdownlist all of the time- I don't want that. I also
wasn't able to bind the value in the list to the value
from the database. I only want it to be a drop down list
when the person chooses "edit".

Can anyone *please* help me out?
