Insert textbox into Gridview

I have a Gridview which has its datasource set to a DataTable. This has been done due to the data required which is not held in a database. Two columns are generated in this fashion. What i need is a third column to have a textbox, so users can enter their comments etc.My code is \[code\] Dim dt As DataTable = New DataTable Dim row As DataRow ' Generate Columns dt.Columns.Add("Col One") dt.Columns.Add("Col Two") dt.Columns.Add("Textbox Col") ' Populate rows with required data row = dt.NewRow row.Item("Col One") = SomeData row.Item("Col Two") = SecondaryData row.Item("Textbox Col") = InsertTextbox("data") ' Add row to DataTable dt.Rows.Add(row) gvData.DataSource = dt gvData.DataBind()\[/code\]The above code does exactly what i require except when Inserting the textbox (InsertTextbox). The textbox code is\[code\]Private Function InsertTextbox(ByVal TBText As String) As TextBox Dim tbox As TextBox = New TextBox With tbox .Width = 100 .Height = 25 .Text = TextboxText .ID = TextboxText End With gvData.Controls.Add(txtbox) Return txtboxEnd Function\[/code\]The above code has been changed a few times to see how i could have allowed textboxes to be inserted into a gridview cell.Currently i get the data back as required but the Textbox Col shows as System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox. Adding .Text shows the text (in this case data) but its displayed in a label format meaning you cant enter anything inside it.Could anyone advise how i could insert a textbox in this fashion?Thanks
