Reading a dropdownlist from GridView

I've got a gridview, with one field as a dropdownlist.. I am trying to read the values inside the dropdownlist but the first item in the list is always selected..

This code is inside the gridview:

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Bank">
   <ItemTemplate>
         <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDown" runat="server" OnLoad="dropdownLoad" />
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>

at the backend, i am using the following code:

DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)GridView1.Rows[0].Cells[7].FindControl("DropDown");
string s1 = ddl.SelectedValue;

What shall I do ?

Try this code.. 

        GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)((Control)sender).NamingContainer;
        DropDownList drp = (DropDownList)row.FindControl("drp");
        lbl.Text = drp.SelectedValue;

Do not search in a particular cell. Instead i would suggest you to search the dropdown in the row it self.

So the code should be some thing like :

DropDownList ddl = GridView1.Rows[0].FindControl("DropDown") as DropDownList;

cheers.
