Referencing a Control within the Insert Row of a ListView

 VWD 2008 Express.  Visual Basic.
I have a ListView control within which I have some dropdownlist controls (and others) in its InsertTemplate.  I need to programmatically reference (and assign values to) the properties of these controls.  I am not having much luck.  I have tried the following for instance to no avail (the FindControl returns "nothing")
Sel = CType(RelationshipsListView.FindControl("RelTypeDropDownList"), DropDownList).SelectedValue How can I properly reference these controls from code behind?  Thanks for the help.
