The following code will only populate every row for the DropDownList control
column in the datagrid instead of every row where the DropDownList appears
in the DataGrid for a particular column.  Any ideas on why?

    Private Sub dgAssignSalesReptoIMEI_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles
dgAssignSalesReptoIMEI.ItemDataBound

        If dtSalesRep Is Nothing Then
            ' This will make a trip to the Database
            dtSalesRep = FilldgDropDownList()
        End If

        If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Then

            Dim DRV As DataRowView = CType(e.Item.DataItem, DataRowView)
            Dim DropDown As String = DRV("REPID")

            Dim ddl As DropDownList = _
             CType(e.Item.FindControl("ddlSalesRep"), DropDownList)
            Dim Item As ListItem

            '   Fill grid
            ' if dtSalesRep is globally defined then we save the trip to the
database
            ddl.DataSource = dtSalesRep
            ddl.DataTextField = "RepName"
            ddl.DataValueField = "RepID"

            ddl.DataBind()
            ddl.Items.Insert(0, "Unassigned")
            ddlDefaultValue.text = drv.("RepID")

            Item = ddl.Items.FindByValue(DropDown)
            ' If this item is not null then select the item
            If Not Item Is Nothing Then Item.Selected = True
        End If
    End Sub
