Drop down list in error.

Hi, I am doing a web application using .net visual studio c#. In the status column, under the footer, i have a drop down list in which user can select either 'Open, Close or Na'. I have bind the drop down list to a method I have defiend. However the drop down list selection is being chng to: System.Data.DataRow.View. This value is able to be inserted into the database.
However, by right the ddl shld be populated with:
Open
Close
NA
instead of System.Data.DataRow.View.
This is the database.cs responsible for inserting records to database:

 

//Method to insert 
checklist

public bool 
Insert_Checklist(string itemID, string item, 
string procedureOwner, string status, string contractID) 

{

SqlCommand cmd_checklist = new 
SqlCommand(); 

cmd_checklist.CommandText = "[VRM].[INSERT_Checklist]"; 

cmd_checklist.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; 

cmd_checklist.Parameters.Clear();

SqlParameter sqlParaItemID = new 
SqlParameter("@itemID", 
SqlDbType.VarChar, 10); 

sqlParaItemID.Value = itemID;

cmd_checklist.Parameters.Add(sqlParaItemID);

SqlParameter sqlParaItem = new 
SqlParameter("@item", 
SqlDbType.VarChar, 20); 

sqlParaItem.Value = item;

cmd_checklist.Parameters.Add(sqlParaItem);

 

SqlParameter sqlParaProcedureOwner = 
new SqlParameter("@procedureOwner", SqlDbType.VarChar, 
30); 

sqlParaProcedureOwner.Value = procedureOwner;

cmd_checklist.Parameters.Add(sqlParaProcedureOwner);

 

 

SqlParameter sqlParaStatus = new 
SqlParameter("@status", 
SqlDbType.VarChar, 10); 

sqlParaStatus.Value = status;

cmd_checklist.Parameters.Add(sqlParaStatus);

 

SqlParameter sqlParaContractID = new 
SqlParameter("@contractID", 
SqlDbType.VarChar, 10); 

sqlParaContractID.Value = contractID;

cmd_checklist.Parameters.Add(sqlParaContractID);

 

return executeNotQuery(cmd_checklist); 

}

This is the stored procedure for insert:

 

ALTER PROCEDURE [VRM].[INSERT_Checklist] 

(

@itemID varchar(10), 

@item varchar(20), 

@procedureOwner varchar(30), 

@status varchar(10), 

@contractID varchar(10) 

)

 



AS

BEGIN

INSERT INTO VRM.Checklist VALUES(@itemID, 
@item , @procedureOwner, @status , @contractID) 



END

This is the business logic:

 

protected void 
gvChecklist_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) 

{

if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Footer) 

{

DropDownList cmbStatus = (DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl("cmbStatus"); 

cmbStatus.DataSource = vrmdb.Get_Status();

cmbStatus.DataBind();

}

}

Thanks for ur help all these while^^
