It's possible but could be very costly
You have to Handle the ItemDataBound method of the datagrid. One of the parameters of the method is the Item row of the datagrid. You can use it to get a handle on the cell or column which you want for that row and dynamically add your control
For example
private void DataGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e
switch(condition) //your conditio
case "DropDown": //your matc
DropDownList ddl = new DropDownList()
e.Item.Cells[yourcellindex].Controls.Add(ddl)
break
case "TextBox": //your matc
TextBox txt = new TextBox()
e.Item.Cells[yourcellindex].Controls.Add(txt)
break
default
Label lbl = new Label()
e.Item.Cells[yourcellindex].Controls.Add(lbl)
break

Can anyone provide any advice or article on creating DataGrid and bind it with data but for every column of data, there may be different Server Controls. To make it clear, let say i want bind 1 field in one DataGrid, but for the only field i want to bind, i may have Label control from rows 1 - 5 and , i want to bind checkboxes to rows from row 6 - 8 and i want to bind again the label controls from row 9 - 11. Can i do that in DAtagrid in ASP.NET ???? Thanks you very much
