In your bind method you are calling an object e that doesn't exist. If the dropdownlist isn't inside a bound element, you can just reference the front code directly, e.g.
drpdKategoria.DataSource = ds;
drpdKategoria.DataValueField = "id"; // Value of bided list in your dropdown in your case it will be CATEGORY_ID
drpdKategoria.DataTextField = "emertimi"; // this will show Category name in your dropdown
drpdKategoria.DataBind();
without finding the control as long as it is runat="server"
UPDATE
Okay, so you need to add an OnItemCreated event in your datalist
OnItemCreated="datalist2_OnItemCreated"
Then in that method you need this
protected void datalist2_OnItemCreated(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Footer)
{
DropDownList drpdKategoria = e.Item.FindControl("drpdKategoria") as DropDownList;
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connection)
string Qry = "select * from kategoria";
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(Qry, con);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
con.Open();
da.Fill(ds);
drpdKategoria.DataSource = ds;
drpdKategoria.DataValueField = "id";
drpdKategoria.DataTextField = "emertimi";
drpdKategoria.DataBind();
con.Close();
con.Dispose();
ds.Dispose();
da.Dispose();
}
}
That will work for if you only have the footer, if you add an itemtemplate then you just need to get rid of the check for the footer and on each item creation grab that dropdownlist for that item
