I made a GridView with a Drop Down List using the example here:
http://www.orcsweb.com/articles/dotnet_control_templates.aspx

It appears to work except that it dosn't actually save the updated data
selected by the drop down list.  Instead it appears to save the origional
data.  Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

if post the code it might be easier to find what's the problem

generating textboxes on the fly ASP.Net (2003)
DataGrid doesn't fire PageIndexChanged
Assign database value to a RadioButtonList control
Accessible GridView
Intercepting the DataGrid
Browse for file - on the server
Inheritance
FormView update parameter values
GridView Constituents
Footer row on a grid with no records?
