Programatically Adding items to a DataGridView ComboBox Cell

Hi all,

I have a ComboBox on my form that I use the following code to populate:
For i As Integer = 0 To myDeliveryServicesDataTable.Rows.Count - 1
myItem = myDeliveryServicesDataTable.Rows(i)("Name")
cmboxDelService.Items.Add(myItem)
Next
How can I do the same to a ComboBox cell in a DataGridView?

Thanks

<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="R2">
                                                            <ItemTemplate>
                                                                  <asp:DropDownList id="ddlGroup" runat="server" Width="100" CssClass="Dropdown"></asp:DropDownList>
                                                            </ItemTemplate>
                                                      </asp:TemplateColumn>

on ItemDataBound event of gridview

if ( e.Item.ItemType ==ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType ==ListItemType.AlternatingItem )
                  {
                        Dim ddlGroup as DropDownList = CType(e.Item.FindControl("ddlGroup"),DropDownList )
                        For i As Integer = 0 To myDeliveryServicesDataTable.Rows.Count - 1
myItem = myDeliveryServicesDataTable.Rows(i)("Name")
ddlGroup.Items.Add(myItem)
Next
