Issue Grabbing the value of a drop down list on an asp.net DataGri

[Mike M]

Here's my code to replace the DataGrid Header that's automatically generated.
I have another sub that I'm trying to get contents/index of this drop
down(First Name...1...)
I dont know how to get at that, can anyone help me, I was thinking something
along this line..
'TextBox2.Text = DataGrid1.Controls(0).IndexOf
'TextBox2.Text = DataGrid1.Items(0).ItemIndex.ToString
'TextBox2.Text = DataGrid1.Controls(0).FindControl(col1.SelectedInd ex)
????
Private Sub DataGrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles
DataGrid1.ItemDataBound
If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Header Then
Dim col1 As New DropDownList()
col1.Items.Add("")
col1.Items.Add("First Name")
col1.Items.Add("Middle Initial")
col1.Items.Add("Last Name")
col1.Items.Add("City")
col1.Items.Add("State")
col1.Items.Add("Zip Code")
col1.Items.Add("Phone")

' Create a new cell
Dim fcell1 As New TableCell()

' Add the Drop Down to the new table cell
fcell1.Controls.Add(col1)

' Create a new header object
Dim dgItemHeader As New DataGridItem(0, 0, ListItemType.Header)
Dim dgItemOldHeader As DataGridItem
'Create an instance of the header
'from the current header object
dgItemOldHeader = e.Item
' Delete the existing header
DataGrid1.Controls(0).Controls.Remove(dgItemOldHea der)
' Add the cell to the header
dgItemHeader.Cells.Add(fcell1)

' Add the header to the datagrid
DataGrid1.Controls(0).Controls.Add(dgItemHeader)
End If

End Sub
