FormView control is a template control and hence it allows other controls to be embedded inside it. You can also place a DropDownList control inside the FormView control. The code below populates the DropDownList control which is placed inside the FormView control.

private void BindData()
    {
        SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(ConnectionString);
        SqlDataAdapter ad = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM Users", myConnection);
        DataSet ds = new DataSet();
        ad.Fill(ds);
        fv1.DataSource = ds;
        fv1.DataBind(); 

        FormViewRow row = fv1.Row; 

        // Populating the DropDownList Control inside the FormView control 
        DropDownList ddlList  = (DropDownList) row.FindControl("ddlNames");
        ddlList.DataSource = GetNames();
        ddlList.DataTextField = "FirstName";
        ddlList.DataValueField = "UserID";

        ddlList.DataBind(); 

        

    }
