I am using Visual Studio 2003 with VB.NET and I have bought 3 books and
surfed several web sites which claim how to define and bind an embedded
dropdownlist in a datagrid for ASP.NET.  None of them include the full
working code and I am having a hard time firing the function which binds the
datagrid  for each of the rows as well as one which fetches the
dropdownlist's value when it is time to save it..  I do not want to have an
edit button or EditTemplate implementation.  All I want to do is create a
datagrid with 6 columns with 1 column being  a dropdownlist fully populated.
I would like to have a submit button which loops through each row at the end
so that I can submit these changes and then fetches a new set of records to
assign values to based upon the value in the dropdownlist.  I can not seem
to get these events lined up properly.

Does anybody understand this concept enough to help out?

Hi David,

You can use <asp:TemplateColumn> and <ItemTemplate> to
hold dropdownlist, or other server control, in a datagrid.
