hi ,
Try this
<aspataGrid id="DataGrid1" AutoGenerateColumns="False" ItemStyle-CssClass="cdb-AltRow"
AlternatingItemStyle-CssClass="cdb-AltRow2"
DataKeyField="ProductID" OnUpdateCommand="DataGrid1_Update" OnEditCommand="DataGrid1_Edit"
OnCancelCommand="DataGrid1_Cancel" runat="server">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Discontinued">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblDiscontinued"
Text='<%#ShowVal(Convert.ToBoolean(
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Discontinued").ToString()) )%>'
Runat="server" />
</ItemTemplate>

<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:Label runat="server" id="lblProductID" Visible="False"
Text='<%#
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ProductId") %>'/>
<asp:Label ID="lblEditDiscontinued"
Text='<%#ShowVal(Convert.ToBoolean(
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Discontinued").ToString() ))%>'
Runat="server" />
<aspropDownList id="ddlDiscontinued"
DataSource="<%# BindTheDiscontinued() %>"
OnPreRender="SetDropDownIndex"
DataTextField="Discontinued"
DataValueField="Discontinued"
runat="server" />
</EditItemTemplate>

</asp:TemplateColumn>

<asp:EditCommandColumn
EditText="Edit" CancelText="Cancel" UpdateText="Update"
ItemStyle-Width="100px"
HeaderText="Commands" />
</Columns>
</aspataGrid>

Code Behind

string strDiscontinued;

public void DataGrid1_Edit(Object sender, DataGridCommandEventArgs e)
{
strDiscontinued = ((Label )e.Item.FindControl("lblDiscontinued")).Text;
DataGrid1.EditItemIndex = (int)e.Item.ItemIndex;
BindGrid();
}

protected void SetDropDownIndex(Object sender ,System.EventArgs e )
{
DropDownList ed ;
ed = (DropDownList) sender;
ed.SelectedIndex = ed.Items.IndexOf(ed.Items.FindByText(strDiscontinu ed));
}
