How can I put a drop down list in a DetailView control? I have converted the field into template but having some issues when I add the drop down list, basically it is not binding the data into my table. I simply want to have some static data in the drop down but it should save it when I hit the Update button. I have the DetailView in a Edit mode. Thanks\[code\]<asp
