Gridview row editing – dynamic binding to a DropDownList

by

Quite easy… You’re doing it wrong, because by that event the control is not there:

protected void gv_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow && 
        (e.Row.RowState & DataControlRowState.Edit) == DataControlRowState.Edit)
    { 
        // Here you will get the Control you need like:
        DropDownList dl = (DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl("ddlPBXTypeNS");
    }
}

That is, it will only be valid for a DataRow (the actually row with data), and if it’s in Edit mode… because you only edit one row at a time. The e.Row.FindControl("ddlPBXTypeNS") will only find the control that you want.
