FormView control is a template control and hence it allows other controls to be embedded inside it. You can also place a DropDownList control inside the FormView control. The code below populates the DropDownList control which is placed inside the FormView control.
private void BindData { SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(ConnectionString); SqlDataAdapter ad = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM Users", myConnection); DataSet ds = new DataSet; ad.Fill(ds); fv1.DataSource = ds; fv1.DataBind;
FormViewRow row = fv1.Row; // Populating the DropDownList Control inside the FormView control DropDownList ddlList = (DropDownList) row.FindControl("ddlNames"); ddlList.DataSource = GetNames; ddlList.DataTextField = "FirstName"; ddlList.DataValueField = "UserID";
ddlList.DataBind;
}
