Being new to .net, I'm struggling getting started with this one.
An idea of which controls to use would be ideal and an overview of how
to complete the task even better.  Any code would be a bonus and most
gratefully received.

I'm going to describe the problem in terms of a table, but its not
part of requirement that the end result be a table, its an attempt to
be clearer.

Problem:  to create a layout containing three columns, each with 10
rows.  Each 'cell' will contain two dropdowns.  Each dropdown will
contain a database value, but needs to show a user friendly word
instead of the raw data.
For the sake of this example, the user will be faced with a sea of
dropdowns, each containing 'One','Two' or 'Three'
The user can change any dropdown, and then update the whole lot with
one button click.

Here's an approximation of my database table, which will be fully
populated for a given user.

PK                                 -> pk of table
User ID                           -> fk to user table, identify
records for given user
Column                           -> Which column, 1,2 or 3, this entry
represents
Row                                -> Which row, 1 to 10 this entry
represents
Val1                                -> Value for left hand drop down,
values 1,2 or 3
Val2                                -> Value for right hand drop down,
values 1,2 or 3

Many thanks for any help you can send my way.
Phil.
