Hi,

Please try the following C# code snippet which works fine at my end.

C#:

protected bool IsInsertItem;
protected void RadListView1_ItemCreated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RadListViewItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is RadListViewInsertItem)
    {
        //flag will set to true when radlistview in insertmode
        IsInsertItem = true;
    }
}
protected void RadListView1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (IsInsertItem)
    {
        //items will added to the dropdownlist when radlistview is in insertmode
        DropDownList frmyr = (DropDownList)RadListView1.InsertItem.FindControl("drpFromYear");
        DropDownList toyer = (DropDownList)RadListView1.InsertItem.FindControl("drpToYear");
        int yearLast = DateTime.Now.Year;
        int yearThen = yearLast - 60;
        for (int i = yearLast; i > yearThen; i--)
        {
            ListItem list = new ListItem();
            list.Text = i.ToString();
            list.Value = i.ToString();
            frmyr.Items.Add(list);
            toyer.Items.Add(list);
        }
    }
}
protected void RadListView1_ItemCommand(object sender, RadListViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if ( e.CommandName == "PerformInsert")
    {
        //on inserting the item,setting the flag as false so that it will not recreate dropdownlist
        IsInsertItem = false;
        DropDownList list = (DropDownList)RadListView1.InsertItem.FindControl("drpFromYear");
        string from = list.SelectedItem.Text;
        DropDownList list1 = (DropDownList)RadListView1.InsertItem.FindControl("drpToYear");
        string to = list1.SelectedItem.Text;
    }
}

Hope this will helps you.
Thanks,
Princy.
