FormView

[win]

I am using VS2005 .net ver2.0

I've created a FormView but all of the data columns are defaulted as
textboxs. How can change them to other controls (e.g. checkbox,
dropdownlist, etc)?

Thanks

You can edit the templates to change the type of controls. For
dropdownlist/checkboxlist you will have to bind it programitically and
make the default selection.

for details see below links:

Hello, we can use ItemTemplate to customize the controls of the fields. The
ASP.NET tutorial "Using the FormView's Templates" provides a demonstration
that can be followed easily.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
