        GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)(((ImageButton)e.CommandSource).NamingContainer);

        TextBox name = row.FindControl("Lbl_Name") as TextBox;

        TextBox address = row.FindControl("Lbl_Address") as TextBox;
        Label mobile = row.FindControl("Lbl_Mobile") as Label;
        Label tele = row.FindControl("Lbl_Tele") as Label;

        Label area = row.FindControl("Lbl_Area_ID") as Label;

        txt_adr.Text = address.Text;
        txt_mobile.Text = mobile.Text;
        txt_name.Text = name.Text;
        txt_tele.Text = tele.Text;
        ddl_category.SelectedValue = category.Text;
        //the problem here on ddloc
        ddloc.SelectedValue = location.Text;

        DDL_AREA.SelectedValue = area.Text;




    }
}

Instead of

ddloc.SelectedValue = location.Text;

use

ddloc.Selecteditem.Text = location.Text;
