Go with this code:

protected void BindGridview()
    {
         con.Open();
 
                string sponcor = "SELECT sponcorid FROM Registration_Master";
               SqlCommand com = new SqlCommand(sponcor, con);
                com.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
               SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(com);
                DataTable dtsponcor = new DataTable();
                da.Fill(dtsponcor);
 
                DropDownList ddl = new DropDownList();
 
                ddl = dtsponcor.Rows[0]["sponcorid"];

            
             con.Close();
            ddl.DataSource = dtsponcor;
            ddl.DataTextField = "sponcorid";
            ddl.DataValueField = "sponcorid";
            ddl.DataBind();
            ddl.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("--Select--", "0"));
 
    }

You're getting that error, because you were String to DropdownList... And that is not possible.. Okay, so here I have solved your problem :)
