On a RowDataBound Event.

Find a DropDownList Control first.<clear>

C#

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl("ddlCategories");
        if (ddl != null)
        {
            ddl.DataSource == //Set DataSource Here;
            ddl.DataBind();
        }
    }
}
