Datagridviewcmbobox column problem

Question

i have added a datagridviewcomboboxcolumn like this:

DataGridViewComboBoxColumn colCategory = new DataGridViewComboBoxColumn();

colCategory.Name = "CATEGORY";

colCategory.DataPropertyName = "CATEGORY";

colCategory.HeaderText = "CATEGORY";

colCategory.SortMode = DataGridViewColumnSortMode.Automatic;

colCategory.Items.AddRange(new string[] { "Subsystem", "Library", "Unknown", "Hole" });

this.dgBuildFile.Columns.Insert(1, colCategory);

this combobox is not bound to any datasource.

when i select any item from the list and go to next cell, the value is not displayed in the cell. how can i achieve it?

Your code is working fine And I am able to select the values from the ComboBox and the values are displaying in comboBox Even when you are moving on to next cell the combo box is displaying the selected value Do you want selected item in the combo box to be displayed in next cell If so Implement the following in dataGridviewCellValidated event private void dgBuildFile_CellValidated( object sender DataGridViewCellEventArgs e) { //Column index of the combo box column is 1 if (e.ColumnIndex == 1) { //Set the value of the column 3 to the selected value of the combo box dgBuildFile.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[2].Value = dgBuildFile.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[e.ColumnIndex].Value; } } Hope this helps
