DataGrid Dropdownlist SelectedValue in EditItemTemplate

[bubberz]

<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="PCode">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label id=Label7 runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.P3ResourceCode") %>'>
</asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<aspropDownList id=ddlP3 runat="server" Font-Size="7pt" Width="232px" DataSource="<%# DsC1 %>" DataMember="RTble" DataTextField="Expr1" DataValueField="RES" AutoPostBack="True">
</aspropDownList>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

My issue is when I change this dropdownlist, how can I pull the selected value from the list? This dropdownlist isn't seen as an available control in the aspx.vb page.

Use the FindControl method

ca*msm,

I tried in the Page_Load handler
...on PostBack
Dim ddlP3 As New DropDownList
DataGrid1.FindControl("ddlP3")
lblddlP3change.Text = ddlP3.SelectedValue.ToString()

I can't get the ldlddlP3change.Text value to change.....
