Sharepoint Dropdownlist

Using sharepoint designer 2007 . I’m trying to change the dataformview edit template controls from textbox to dropdownlist with no success. the control won’t get the value and not saving. The one below is the working textbox control.

Note: I’m using sql server database connection.

<asp:DropDownList runat=“server” id=“ff4{$Pos}” __designer:bind=“{ddwrt:DataBind(‘u’,concat(‘ff4’,$Pos),‘SelectedValue’,‘TextChanged’,‘PROJID’,ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@PROJID)),‘@PROJTYPE’)}” >
<asp:ListItem value=“Ongoing”>Ongoing</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem value=“One Time”>One Time</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>

===========this is the textbox that works==================
<!-- <asp:TextBox runat=“server” id=“ff4{$Pos}” text=“{@PROJTYPE}” __designer:bind=“{ddwrt:DataBind(‘u’,concat(‘ff4’,$Pos),‘Text’,‘TextChanged’,‘PROJID’,ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@PROJID)),‘@PROJTYPE’)}” /> –>

I hope someone could help me solved this problem. TIA
