 We do the same as MS does, i.e., nothing is in the dropdownlist.
 You're missing a call to unitsDropDownList2.DataBind () (or
 Page.DataBind or ...) and that's why no data is shown.

+Alright, I watered this example down too much.  The original problem I
+was seeing was that the dropdown inside of a datagrid wasn't binding
+correctly, note this comment:
+
+"Returning to our example at hand (the DropDownList in our
+EditItemTemplate tag), this means that the "DropDownList that is
+currently being edited"'s DataBind() method will be called when the
+DataGrid's DataBind() method of the DataGrid is called. Armed with
+this knowledge we might reason that we could set the DropDownList's
+DataSource to some DataSet and have the DropDownList's DataBind()
+method be automatically called. The problem is, what do we set the
+DropDownList's DataSource property to? The answer is to use more
+databinding syntax!"

+I'll attach a testcase of this situation, sorry for the confusion.
