DataGridViewTextBoxColumn to DataGridViewComboBoxColumn Help...

[vbDiggerz]

I wish to convert an existing column into a comboboxcolumn at run time. I've bound a datasource to a datagridview programmatically using the adapter.Fill(dataset) method. This fills my grid view but I want to change one of the columns, say column 2, to be a combobox column. I know how to do this by adding a new column or by using the designer at design time but neither of these help me. I need to do this programmitically at run time. I'm using VB2005. I'm trying to restrict the user's entries for this particular column in the database to a simple list. anyone could give a sample code to do this for me to study?? Please anybody..

You cannot change a column at runtime. Once the column has been created, that's it. It stays that way for the life of the column. You have to create a new column to replace the old one with.
