Can I get the code to add/modify row? I want to avoid this message "Data modifications are not allowed in the online example.".

Simply define the datasource Update command and comment the following line:
throw new Exception("Data modifications are not allowed in the online example.");
Why is it also necessary to include the "Category Name" column in the dsCombo Box and when binding the aspx combo box (as text field)? What if we only want to display the Category ID in the drop down?

It is the most popular solution to show a text field in the ASPxComboBox. However, you can show any data you wish.
I was expecting to see a list of items in the dropdownedit control ?

Yes.
Can this also be used if you are just using the built in grid view defaults for batch editing? I don't want to have any code on the html side i rather it all be done from the code behind.
