Can anyone make heads or tails out of this? I have a DataList control
that contains a DropDownList and a HyperLink control. The HyperLink
control initiates a command named "REGISTER".

The following code executes, I find the DropDownList, but it contains
no values. IOW, it appears to be empty.

Am I going about this correctly?  When the user presses the hyperlink
contained in the ItemTemplate of the DataList, I want to get the
selected value of the DropDownList, also contained in the Item Template
of the DataList.

private void DataList1_ItemCommand(object source,
system.Web.UI.WebControls.DataListCommandEventArgs e)
{
 if ( e.CommandName == "REGISTER" )
 {
   string ctl_name = String.Format( CTRLNAME, e.Item.ItemIndex );
   DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl(  
       "DropDownList1" );
   int EventInstanceID = Int32.Parse( ddl.SelectedValue );
 }
}

Any ideas ?
