Solution 1

I used Google Search and found many examples of how to do this.

My Search: enable combobox selection in a datagridview - Google Search[^]

Here is one example from the search results: C# Tutorial - Add Combobox to DataGridView | FoxLearn - YouTube[^]

UPDATE

Try this then: ComboBox in DatagridView in Edit Mode[^]

Updated. Just a matter of googling... The best solution is to use WPF, far simpler.
