I'm trying to add a drop down list to a gridview header. The number of
columns can change so it has to be done in the code behind (the .cs
file). Please help me with this.

Do it in either RowCreated or RowDataBound event. Both fire for every grid
row, including the header. You can tell the header by looking in the RowType
property.

Thanks a lot. I ended up adding it on the row data bound. Can you help
me out with even handling? Im doing

ddl.SelectedIndexChanged += new EventHandler(HandelDropDownList);

but its throwing an error.

Thanks.
