EditItemTemplate column

one advantage of using EditItemTemplate is that you can put some thing in the normal template column and another format in the edit template column. for example, show some texts in normal view, but change to a drop down menu when editing.
example:



<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"SmtpServerType")%>
