datasource cannot be set declaratively

G

Guest

I have a dropdown list in an item template of a gridveiw.
I get the error "datasource cannot be set declaratively" when I try and
assign an sqldatasource to the dropdown list.
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="RideDates" runat="server"
DataSource="RideDatesSqlDataSource">
</asp:DropDownList>
</ItemTemplate>

Any ideas why this happens?

Thanks.

Does it work with DataSourceId?

DataSource will bind your list to an IEnumerable, IListSource etc.
DataSourceId binds to a declarative data control.
