hi friend you can do it by adding edititem template to your grid view see below example code: '> '> Here is the code behind to bind the Dropdown list: protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender GridViewRowEventArgs e) { if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) { DropDownList cmbGender = (DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl(cmbNewGender); if (cmbType != null) { cmbGender.DataSource = customer.FetchCustomerType(); cmbGender.DataBind(); cmbGender.SelectedValue = GridView1.DataKeys[e.Row.RowIndex].Values[1].ToString(); } } } Please mark as answer if it helps you.
