asp.net dynamic GridView with dropdownlist column

Question

How to create a GridView with a DropDownList column dynamically/Programmatically?

My intent is, I shall only add a bare GridView on the aspx page (I wouldn't even add ItemTemplate in design-time). All of the other things, creation of the control to population of data, would be done in the code behind.

Any known web link?

You have to handle the RowDataBound event and populate the correct information there.
