I was wondering if there is a way to use the new model binding in combination with a dropdownlist. When searching on the net, all I found were examples of the DropDownList being used a filter control or e.g. a bound GridView. Let's say however a user would be able to select a gender (M/F). For this data I would like the user to be able to select the correct gender from a DropDownList. The code below illustrates in general what I am aiming for:

<asp:FormView runat="server" ID="frmClubMembers" DataKeyNames="MemberId" ItemType="Domain.Member"
        DefaultMode="ReadOnly" InsertMethod="InsertMember" UpdateMethod="UpdateMember"
        SelectMethod="SelectMember">
        <ItemTemplate>
            <fieldset>
                  ...
            </fieldset>
        </ItemTemplate>
        <EditItemTemplate>
            <fieldset>
                <ul>
                    <li>
                        <asp:Label ID="lblFirstName" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="txtFirstName">FirstName:</asp:Label>
                        <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtFirstName" Text='<%#: BindItem.FirstName %>' />
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        <asp:Label ID="lblLastname" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="txtLastName">LastName:</asp:Label>
                        <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtLastName" Text='<%# BindItem.LastName %>' />
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        <asp:Label ID="lblGender" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="cmbGender">Gender:</asp:Label>
                        <asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="cmbGender" SelectMethod="SelectGender" SelectedItem='<%# BindItem.Gender %>' />
                    </li>
                </ul>
                <br />
                <ul>
                    <li>
                        <asp:Button ID="btnSave" runat="server" CommandName="Update" Text="Save" />&nbsp;
                        <asp:Button ID="btnCancel" runat="server" CommandName="Cancel" Text="Cancel"
                            CausesValidation="false" />
                    </li>
                </ul>
            </fieldset>
        </EditItemTemplate>
        <InsertItemTemplate>
            <fieldset>
                ...
            </fieldset>
        </InsertItemTemplate>
    </asp:FormView>

Is this somehow possible, or do I need another approach?
