WebControl with ID not exist in code behind context

I have this in a grid view:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="MyViewTemplate.ascx.cs" Inherits="usercontrols_MyViewTemplate" %>

    ...

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Estado" ItemStyle-Width="50px">
  <ItemTemplate>
    <asp:DropDownList ID="RiskWorkDropDownList" runat="server">
    </asp:DropDownList>
  </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

And the RiskWorkDropDownList does not exist in the code behind context. Why doesn't it exist in the code behind?

It is nested within the GridView that's why it is not accessible directly. You needs to do something like below

foreach(GridViewRow row in grdView.Rows)
{
       if(row.FindControl("RiskWorkDropDownList")!=null)
       {
              DropDownList ddlRisk = (DropDownList)row.FindControl("RiskWorkDropDownList");
        }
}
