Unless you add list items, makes no sense to set selectedvalue

<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlIssuanceMonth" runat="server"  Enabled="false"
                                            SelectedValue='<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"IssuanceMonth")%>'>
      

 <asp:ListItem Text="1" Value="1"></asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Text="2" Value="2"></asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Text="3" Value="3"></asp:ListItem>
                                     </asp:DropDownList>
