However I decided not to use Formview anymore because when you place a fromview inside a wizard, you won't able to get the controls' properties which are inside the formview.

Dim ddl as dropdownlist = formviewName.findcontrol("dropdownName")
if ddl is nothing then exit sub

'you can set the datasource or any property end also add items to the dropdownlist
ddl.datasource = datasource
ddl.databind

but if I do it with the way you have indicated, I won't be able to control the events of these dropdownboxes which must be defined in aspx page

public static Control GetControlByID(string id, Control ctl)
    {
        Control retCotl;
        for (int i = 0; i < ctl.Controls.Count; i++)
        {
            retCotl = ctl.Controls[i].FindControl(id);
            if (retCotl != null)
            {
                return retCotl;
            }
            else
            {
                retCotl = GetControlByID(id, ctl.Controls[i]);
                if (retCotl != null)
                {
                    return retCotl;
                }
            }
        }
        return null;
    }
