Thanks Monjurul and Abhishek,

I have tested your suggestion, but I don't seem to be any better off. It makes me wonder whether it is because I am not adding the DropDownList control to the collection of controls on the ListViewItem properly? I.e.

ListViewItem lvi = e.Item;
DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("ddl");
lvi.Controls.Add(ddl);

I have tried the above code I added in the ItemCreated event of the ListView and also the ItemDataBound event and neither method fixes the problem of the ItemCommand event not firing for the ListView.

I wonder if anything more sinister is going on here?!

Thanks for your reply Manas,

I'm not convinced that would be the way to do it - how would one go about obtaining the DataItem for the ListViewItem that the DropDownList belongs to?

The SelectedIndexChanging/Changed server event only passes 'EventArgs' as a parameter back to the server, but the DataItem of the ListView cannot be obtained from this.
