Thanks puneetdudeja:
i wiil try for ur code
and if it will work, i will accept it as a solution

Thanks for ur response
I forgot to add a check in the code.
First time, the RowDataBound is called for the Header Row of GridView which will not contain your drop down list.
So also check for Row to be a DataRow and then only bind your Drop Down list.
Modified code is in the following Code Snippet:
void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
        {
if(e.Row.RowType==DataControlRowType.DataRow)
		{
            DropDownList ddlTemp = e.Row.Cells[4].FindControl("DropDownList1") as DropDownList;
            ddlTemp.Items.FindByText(((DataRowView)e.Row.DataItem)["NOOFPAGES"].ToString()).Selected = true;
 
        }
}
