Add TemplateField into GridView(I forget the name in DataGrid), and then add whatever control as you want into ItemTemplete.

Yes

or to go more in detail :
<datagrid....

<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="company">

<ItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlcompany" runat="server" DataValueField="companycode" DataTextField="companyname"
DataSource='<%# GetACompany() %>'> </asp:DropDownList>
</ItemTemplate>

</asp:TemplateColumn>


... same itemtemplate voor button ..
<asp:button id="cmdUpload" command="Upload" runat="server">....
...

</datagrid>

then in your codebehind build a dataset in the function getcompany en return it.


Function Getcompany() As Data.DataSet
Try
Dim dscompany As New Data.DataSet

.... get data from database and fill dataset

Return dscomlpany
Catch ex As Exception
Return Nothing
End Try
End Function

that should work for you...

Hi,

In your datagrid you can add several commands to react to your actions.

if you want for example add a row using that button :

In your datagrid you add the following :
<asp:datagrid runat="server".... onItemcommand="Add_Item" ... >

your button is correct, but just add the item "Commandname":

<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="File Name">
<ItemStyle Wrap="False" />
<HeaderStyle CssClass="orderIdItem" Wrap="False" />
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:ImageButton ID=Upload CommandName="InsertItem" runat=server />
</ItemTemplate >
</asp:TemplateColumn>


Codebehind :
Sub AddItem(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DataGridCommandEventArgs)
If e.CommandName = "InsertItem" Then

'DO What you want
'To get your dropdownlistitem
Dim Lstdropdown As DropDownList = _
e.Item.FindControl("ddlname")

.... use its value
dim iListID as integer
iListID = LstAfdeling.SelectedItem.Value

....

end if
end sub

Hope it works out :)
