Your suggestion works.
I modified the DDL as follows:
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownListOwner" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataOwner" DataValueField="User_name" DataTextField="User_name" AutoPostBack="true" AppendDataBoundItems="true" SelectedValue='<%#Bind("Pool_IP_owner")%>'>

Is it possible to set the SelectedValue to a value from the list? Like this:
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownListOwner" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataOwner" DataValueField="UserID" DataTextField="User_name" AutoPostBack="true" AppendDataBoundItems="True" SelectedValue="ttimmers">
If I do this I get the error:
The 'SelectedValue' property cannot be set declaratively

I've changed it to:
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownListOwner" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataOwner" DataValueField="UserID" DataTextField="User_name" AutoPostBack="true" AppendDataBoundItems="True" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("User_name") %>'>
And now I get the error: "'System.Data.DataRowView' does not contain a property with the name 'User_name'"
Another thing is that in Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express the property 'SelectedValue' isn't suggested. Is this normal?

I'm not using ascx. I have a User_ReleaseIP.aspx file that uses a User_ReleaseIP.aspx.vb file.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the result is the same.
