Inside Button Click, try to find the control of Grid1. I don't know how you are adding checkbox to DropDown, but this is the way. Once you find the control, then add that.

i got the control inside dropdown using
gvRow.Cells[3].FindControl("ddlFeetx") as DropDownList

Solution 2

If you want to add CheckBox inside DropDownList, then you have to do it in some other way because there is no such default behaviour supported by DropDownList.

So, you should go for DropDownCheckList ASP.NET Server Control[^].

You can add this to your GridView and try.

All the best. :)

Try something like this..

C#

protected void btnGrid2Insert_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (GridViewRow gvRow in gvGrid1.Rows)
        {
            DropDownList ddl = (gvRow.Cells[5].FindControl("ddlName") as DropDownList);
            DataTable dt = getYourSource();
            ddl.DataSource = dt;
            ddl.DataTextField = "";
            ddl.DataValueField = "";
            ddl.DataBind();
        }
    }
