                    <asp:ButtonColumn Text="Select" DataTextField="c_transformstatus" HeaderText="STATUS" CommandName="Select"></asp:ButtonColumn>

                            <ItemTemplate>
                                <asp:DropDownList AutoPostBack = True id = "DD" DataSource="<%# BindTheError(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "c_transformstatus")) %>" DataTextField="c_levelname" DataValueField="c_transformstatus" Runat =server />

                            </asp:TemplateColumn>
                        </Columns>

                    </asp:datagrid>


.cs file code


        public DataView BindTheError(string status)
        {
            here code for returning the datatable
        }

When you need to put a data binding reference inside a control attribute you need to put it in single quotes. It seems like an odd requirement, but that's what it takes:

<asp:DropDownList AutoPostBack = True id = "DD" DataSource='<%# BindTheError(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "c_transformstatus")) %>' DataTextField="c_levelname" DataValueField="c_transformstatus" Runat =server />
