Good question, I was just working on the same code. This is what I did, but there may be better ways:
In the EditItemTemplate I put a literal and assigned the ID value to it i needed, and made it not visible(you can use any value you need):
Then in your code, use the RowDataBound:
This should get you going. Hope it helps.

Code:
<asp:Literal ID="yourLiteral" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("IDvalueYouNeed") %>'
Visible="false"></asp:Literal>Then in your code, use the RowDataBound:
Code:
If (e.Row.RowState = DataControlRowState.Edit) OrElse (e.Row.RowState = (DataControlRowState.Edit Or DataControlRowState.Alternate)) Then
Dim id as Integer = DirectCast(e.Row.FindControl("yourLiteral").Text
Dim ddl As DropDownList = DirectCast(e.Row.FindControl("YourDDL"), DropDownList)
'Here, add or bind your dropdownlistvalues
ddl.Items.FindByValue(id).Selected = TrueThis should get you going. Hope it helps.
