Hi William,

I would do this via the ItemDataBound function of the datagrid in codebehind:

Below is code for a dropdown added in runtime but you should replce this with a Texteditor:

If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Or e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Then

Dim ddlClub As DropDownList = DirectCast(e.Item.FindControl("ddlClub"), DropDownList)
Dim tc As New ShirtController

For Each t As Shirt In tc.GetShirts(ModuleId)
ddlClub.Items.Add(New ListItem(t.ShirtName, t.ShirtId))
Next
ddlClub.Items.Insert(0, New ListItem("-", "-1"))
end if

To read the values:

For Each dlistItem As DataListItem In ddlClubs.Items
Dim t As New Team

Dim dc As DropDownList = DirectCast(dlistItem.FindControl("ddlClub"), DropDownList)
t.PlayerId = CInt(pId.Text.Trim)

Next

Hope this helps you out,

Regards,
Geoff

Geoff,

I was referring specifically to the DNN TextEditor. I have other controls being assigned values in the OnItemDataBound but for some reason the TextEditor is throwing the error when trying to assign a text value to it.

Can anyone else help?
