Dropdowlist in a gridview in edit mode

[Lupakkiotto]

Hi!, I am using framework 2.0 and Visual Visual Web Developer Express.
In a gridview, when it is in editmode, I have a dropdownlist in a
templatefield. The problem is that it show always the first item in the list
and not the current one correspondin to the value saved in the database....
How can I solve the problem? I have read about the event itemdatabound of
the gridview, but if I try the code below:

Sub GridView1_ItemDataBound(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal e As
DataGridItemEventArgs)
If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.EditItem Then
Dim ddl As DropDownList
ddl = CType(e.Item.FindControl("comboTipoIndennita"), DropDownList)
ddl.SelectedIndex =
ddl.Items.IndexOf(ddl.Items.FindByText(DataBinder.Eval(e.Item.DataItem,
"comboTipoIndennita")))
End If
End Sub

it says me that the gridview can't handles that event...
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english...

thank.. I tried to modify the code in:
Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
GridViewRowEventArgs)

If e.Row.RowType = ListItemType.EditItem Then

Dim ddl As DropDownList

ddl = CType(e.Row.FindControl("comboTipoIndennita"), DropDownList)

'ddl.SelectedIndex =
ddl.Items.IndexOf(ddl.Items.FindByText(DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem,
"comboTipoIndennita")))

ddl.SelectedValue =
ddl.Items.IndexOf(ddl.Items.FindByText(DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem,
"TipoIndennita")))

End If

End Sub





but nothing happen...

I solved my problem in a very simple way:
<aspropDownList runat="server" ID="comboTipoIndennita"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" DataTextField="TipoIndennita"
DataValueField="idIndennitaGruppo" CssClass="combo" SelectedValue='<%#
Bind("myID")%>' />

setting SelectedValue='<%# Bind("myID")%>
Tnx
