whenever you have control within a control's item/alternate-item template you can't access control directly
you need to extract inner control by using method FindControl() with main control.
i.e.
in your case it will be like this

C#

DropDownList list = (DropDownList) myGrid.FindControl("ddlName");
list.DataSource = dt;
list.DataBind();
