How do I programmatically bind data to a custom item template column for a GridView? So far, I've done something similar to this:
TemplateField foo = new TemplateField();
foo.ItemTemplate = new bar();
this.GridView1.Columns.Add(foo);
where bar is like this:
public class bar : ITemplate
{
public bar()
{
}
public void InstantiateIn(Control container)
{
DropDownList ddl = new DropDownList();
container.Controls.Add(ddl);
}
}
(the actual dropdownlist is populated)
But ITemplate doesn't contain any kind of data binding properties to implement, and the TemplateField class doesn't seem to have any either...
What do I do?
Edit: The other half is being able to handle the updates to get back to the original datasource. If I just handle the rowupdate events, I don't see my TemplateColumn in the oldvalues/newvalues lists.
