Populating A Listbox From SQL Server In Databound Formview

I am "trying" to switch my form from SqlDataSources to ADO.NET data sources. So I have a DAL setup, and ObjectDataSources in my form referencing these DALs. These data sources are bound to the form's objects. So far so good. In the InsertItem Template of one of the form's FormViews I have a list box that I am trying to populate with a value pair (ID, TechName) from a database table and I get the following error:
"Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control." Apparently, one of the two workarounds involves programmatically loading the listbox. The code below shows one of my attempts, resulting in the above mentioned error:

Code:
Protected Sub TestFillDefaultValueInFormView()
Dim vInspectorList As DropDownList
If (FormViewHydInspection.CurrentMode = FormViewMode.Insert) And Not IsPostBack Then
vInspectorList = DirectCast(FormViewHydInspection.FindControl("DDlstInspBy"), DropDownList)
vInspectorList.Items.Clear()
Dim vInspectorDA As New DataSetHydrantsTableAdapters.TechnicianTableAdapter()
Dim vInspectors As DataSetHydrants.TechnicianDataTable = vInspectorDA.GetTechnician()
Dim vInspRow As DataSetHydrants.TechnicianRow
Dim vInspectorHT As New Hashtable
vInspectorHT.Add("0", "Select Technician")
For Each vInspRow In vInspectors
If vInspRow.TechID <> 0 Then
vInspectorHT.Add(vInspRow.TechID.ToString, vInspRow.TechName)
End If
Next
vInspectorList.DataSource = vInspectorHT
vInspectorList.DataTextField = "value"
vInspectorList.DataValueField = "key"
vInspectorList.DataBind()
End If
End Sub

I tried populating the listbox directly using the Listbox.Items.add() method (which is the way I have it now so I could continue solving other problems, and it works!) but I could not find a way to add a value pair. I did try:

vInspectorList.DataTextField = "Select Technician"
vInspectorList.DataValueField = "0"
but that left a listbox without any data.
