then on row command event find that dropdownlis control like

VB

If e.CommandName = "Edit" Then
          Dim i As Integer = e.CommandArgument
          Dim row As GridViewRow = GridView2.Rows(i)

                  Dim dd As DropDownList       
   dd= DirectCast(row.FindControl("ddl1"), DropDownList)
           

      End If

XML

<asp:templatefield headertext="Status" sortexpression="with_status" xmlns:asp="#unknown">
                    <itemtemplate>
                        <asp:label id="Label1" runat="server" text="<%# Bind("with_status") %>"></asp:label>

                        <asp:dropdownlist id="DropDownList1" runat="server">
                        <asp:listitem value="0">-Select- </asp:listitem>
                        <asp:listitem value="1">pending </asp:listitem>
                      <asp:listitem value="2">completed </asp:listitem>

                        </asp:dropdownlist>
