Can a (windows) datagrid column contain different types of control

RE: Can a (windows) datagrid column contain different types of control

Use a template column , add combobox to it,

and bind the control in an ItemDataBound Eventhandler method

which handles DataGrid1.ItemD ataBound

DataGrid1_ItemD ataBound(object sender,
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Data GridItemEventAr gs e)
{
if(e.Item.ItemT ype.Equals( ListItemType.It em)
|| e.Item.ItemType .Equals(ListIte mType.Alternati ngItem))
{
ComboBox cbox = e.Item.FindCont rol("idOfComboB oxInDataGridTem plateColumn")
as ComboBox

// Bind Combobox here

}

}

RE: Can a (windows) datagrid column contain different types of con

Andreas, that sounds like a web datagrid. In a web datagrid, I think it
would be doable. But can I do it in a windows datagrid?

Mark,

Have a look at our website and than this link, there is as well another
implementation. Know that in the Net 2.0 datagridview what the combobox and
other controls are standard implemented.



I hope this helps,
