Answer 1

This is what I did that worked for me:

**Snippet from aspx:**

  
     
        
                            
  

**Snippet from code-behind:**

 protected void grdSAEdit_RowUpdating(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e)
        {
            //Get the refernce to the list control
            DropDownList ddlRecStatus = (DropDownList)(grdSAEdit.Rows[e.RowIndex].FindControl("ddlRecStatus"));

            // Add it to the parameters
            e.NewValues.Add("RECORD_STATUS", ddlRecStatus.Text);

        }

        protected string[] Recs_Status
        {
            get { return new string[] {  "A", "E", "V", "Z" }; }
        }

        protected int GetselectedRecStatus(object status)
        {
            return Array.IndexOf(Recs_Status, status.ToString());
        }
