protected void rgItems_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
     If(e.CommandName == "Edit")// or "Update";
    ComboBox cBox = (e.Item.FindControl("your ComboBox") as ComboBox);
    //now treat cBox as "Your ComboBox"  so you can bind data to it
}
//but dont forget to add in you aspx page in your grid (OnItemCommand="rgItems_ItemCommand")
