Multiple Datasources - DataGrid

[Jim Heavey]

Can I bind 3 controls to 3 different datatables?

I have a datagrid with a databound column and 2
DropDownList.

I set the datasource for the datagrid to Table1 and the
DataBoundColumn to Field1 in Table1.

I attempt to set the DataSouce Property for DropDownList
to Table2 and set the DataTextField to "Description" and
the "DataValueField" to Category. Likewise For the
second DropDownList I set the datasource to Table3 and
DataField and DataValueField to appropriate column names
within Table3.

When I run, I get an error indicating that I must set the
datasource for DropdownList1 at runtime. When I set the
property at runtime I get another error - object is null.

How to I properly set the properties on the DropDownList?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!!!!!!

Hi,

On page_load, did you use all dataadapters fill method to fill your
dataset and Bind() your Datagrid?
