Editable datagridview

[saqib82]

Hello I need help in editing a datagridview's row. I have a grid which is dynamically populated in a way that user adds some data in the form of rows. Now, I want to give the user the option to edit the row as well. I want to provide the functionality just like asp.net's editable gridview. that is, i want that when a user click on a cell to edit it, a dropdown should be displayed containing selected values. I also want that user may have a cell with text 'edit' and user should click that to start editing the row. as soon as the user click the 'edit', the text should be changed to 'update'. Please guide me for it.

Look into DataGridViewComboBoxColumn and DataGridViewButton column. That must suite your needs. :)

Set the DisplayStyle property to nothing for the combobox column. HTH.
