The best way is to publish DropDownList (or just SelectedValue) through a property:

C#

public class AddTemplateToGridView : ITemplate
{
    ListItemType _type;
    string _colName;
    DropDownList _ht;

    //  publish DropDownList:
    public DropDownList InnerDropDown { get { return _ht; } } 

    //  or publish just SelectedValue:
    public string SelectedValue { get { return _ht == null ? string.Empty : _ht.SelectedValue; } }

    public AddTemplateToGridView(ListItemType type, string colname)
    {
        _type = type;
        _colName = colname;
    }

    void ITemplate.InstantiateIn(System.Web.UI.Control container)
    {
        switch (_type)
        {
            case ListItemType.Item:

                _ht = new DropDownList();
                _ht.ID = "ht"+_colName; 
                _ht.Width = 50;
                _ht.Items.Add(new ListItem("Select", "Select"));
                _ht.Items.Add(new ListItem("P", "P"));
                _ht.Items.Add(new ListItem("A", "A"));
                _ht.Items.Add(new ListItem("H", "H"));
                _ht.Items.Add(new ListItem("S", "S"));
                _ht.Items.Add(new ListItem("L", "L"));
                _ht.DataBinding += new EventHandler(ht_DataBinding);
                container.Controls.Add(_ht);
                break;
                
        }
    }
}
