gridview binding problems with dropdownlist

im trying to find a solution to my problem, my dropdownlist in the gridview is not binding, is there any way to override this?

this is the error i am getting:

Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.

thanks

   <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="4"
                DataSourceID="SqlDataSource22" EnableModelValidation="True" ForeColor="#333333"
                Width="2400px" DataKeyNames="KeyFeatureID">
    <AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" ForeColor="#284775" HorizontalAlign="Center"
                    VerticalAlign="Middle" />
    <Columns>
         <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="KeyFeatureID" SortExpression="KeyFeatureID" Visible="False">

You have to bind your DropDownList in RowDataBound handler.

  protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
    {

        if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
        {
            //Bind DropDownList here

        }
     }
