DropdownLists in a Datagrid, and DataReaders

When people on the Forums ask about using DropDownLists inside a Datagrid, I usually point them to my pal Alex Lowe's code sample here.  Yesterday someone had some trouble implementing this sample, because they were using a DataReader and the sample is based on a DataSet.

Word to the wise, when using DataReaders, you need to change this line:
Dim myRow As DataRowView = CType(e.Item.DataItem, DataRowView)

to:
Dim myRow As System.Data.Common.DbDataRecord= CType(e.Item.DataItem, System.Data.Common.DbDataRecord)

Happy Datagridding!
