C# - ListView DropDownList Edit ListView

I have created a ListView that has editing enabled, the wizard generated the table with the use of textboxes but i require the use of dropdown lists for some options. I have created the dropdown list

<asp:DropDownList ID="ActionStatusTextBox" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Value="Ongoing">Ongoing</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="Open">Open</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="Closed">Closed</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>

The drop down list generates successfully but doesn't submit and enter itself in the databse.

<%# Bind("ActionStatus") %>'

The above snippet needs to used somewhere in order to bind the data but which parameter does it need attaching to to pass the data?
