I;'ve been able to get what I wnat if I use the design time Wizards
and properties. Specifically I can drill down to my column in the
view and change the type to a combo box and setting the appropriate
properties I get a list of the StationList names. However, what I can
figure out is how to change the column at runtime. What is the trick?

You have to remove the control already in the cell and replace with a
combobox. This can be done in the row binding event handler. I am
assuming ASP.NET here, but the method for windows forms is similar.

Peace and Grace,
