Haee friends,
I have a Template Column (Drop Down List) in the datagrid and have also added data in the ItemDataBound event.
but what happens is when i try to edit it inline then the datagrid goes empty i tracked out that the ItemDataBound event does not fire in the case of edit inline.Can you please suggest me an alternative
thanks in advance

Can you describe more about what you are doing with the template column? That might help us provide some advice.

What are you doing in ItemDataBound?

haee
The template column consists of a combobox and i have populated it using a dataset.
Im trying to provide inline editing. when i click for editing the row the data in the combobox is not getting bound to the dataset.

That's odd, usually the datagrid will maintain the data of the objects/controls within it. How is the dropdownbox (there is no combobox in web forms) getting added to the template? Cany ou post the relavent pieces of code (markup and codebehind for just the control within the template column)?

here is the code

<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="<b>Employee Type">
<ItemTemplate>
    <asp:DropDownList id="ddlEmpType" Runat="server"></asp:DropDownList>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>


private void DGAddressDetails_ItemDataBound(object source,System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEvent Args e)
{
    if(e.Item.ItemType ==ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType==ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
    {
    DataRowView objRow =(DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem;


    ((DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("ddlEmpType")).D ataSource = dsEmpType;
    ((DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("ddlEmpType")).D ataTextField ="EmpType";
    ((DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("ddlEmpType")).D ataValueField="EmpTypeID";
    ((DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("ddlEmpType")).D ataBind();
    ((DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("ddlEmpType")).I tems.FindByValue(objRow["EmpTypeID"].ToString()).Selected =true;


            }
        }
