Populate Dropdownlist in Gridview using function
I have a function that I use to populate dropdownlist on web forms with values from a SQL database. I have a dropdown list inside of a gridview that is in a template column that i want to populate using that same function. I think i have done this before but can figure it out. Any help would be appreciated
You'll have to do this inside of the gridview.OnRowDataBound event, like this...
protected void gvYourGridView_OnRowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
//Check to make sure the databound row is one of the data rows and not the header
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
DropDownList ddl = e.Row.FindControl("IdOfYourDropDownListControlInTheTemplateColumn") as DropDownList;
//Run your data function on the ddl
}

I forgot... you need to have that inside a for each loop:
for each gridviewrow In gridview1.rows
Or use the gridview's RowDataBound event, like like CodeCruiser and JosephEricDaves mentioned.
