dynamic dropdown in dynamic columns

[Chetan Pawar]

Hi all,

i am creating columns of the grid dynamically, i.e. the column names are not known before hand also the column type are not known.
when binding i check the column name of "[choice]" text and identify it as a dropdown column.
i want to bind a dropdown list to the column(s) programmitically (neither the editor providers nor the columns are defined in design)

can anyone out there help me out? please

thanks in advance

Hi,

thank you for your help

i made some changes and now i am able to display the dropdown list as i want it to be

if (e.Item.ItemType == GridItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == GridItemType.AlternatingItem)
            {
                GridDataItem item = e.Item as GridDataItem;
                TableCell categoryCell = item["VisitorID"];
                categoryCell.Controls.Clear();
               
                DropDownList ddp = new DropDownList();
                ddp.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("Select Contact Title", "NotSetItem"));
                categoryCell.Controls.Add(ddp);
            }
