On your Repeater's ItemDatabound event use the following: 

if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || 
         e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{

    ((DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("drp_CompPropAddress")).DataSource =(DataRowView) e.Item.DataItem;//Or any other datasource.
    ((DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("drp_CompPropAddress")).DataBind();

}
