Control.FindControl returns a Control Object.

you have to cast that control as the type you expect. In this case a
DropdownList. Then you can access the DataValueField Member.

Control c = new Control();
DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)c.FindControl("id");
if (ddl != null)
{
string value = ddl.DataValueField;
}
