GridView Customization

Question

I have a grid view with more than one control (ie. a DropDownList and a TextBox)

How can I bind the DropDownList in the gridview and how do I insert an add button in the footer of the gridview

I have found a few ways to do this but they are confusing and I am not sure about the performance of them.

It seems you are asking for code to be written over here which might not sound great, come with the exact difficulties you are facing — V4Vendetta

If you want a flexible control of the layout and still get all the power of GridView, I suggest that you look into ListView. You have control over the template for layout, footer, item and etc. which sounds like what you need. Here is the comparison between ListView, GridView and others.

Take a look here: Adding an insert row to GridView.

It provides a full code sample that is easy to follow. In terms of performance, adding a row will require a postback but you can wrap your GridView in an UpdatePanel and very easily have a seemingly AJAXified GridView.
