here is how to:

<EditItemTemplate>
    <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" />
</EditItemTemplate>


protected void DetailsView1_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    if (DetailsView1.CurrentMode == DetailsViewMode.Edit)
    {
        DropDownList ddl = DetailsView1.FindControl("DropDownList1") as DropDownList;
        if (ddl != null)
        {

            ddl.DataSource = dataSource;
            ddl.DataBind();

        }
    }
