Are you using a content place holder ?

Viewstates will be loaded before page_load fires. Getting viewstate depends on where you are creating dynamic control. If it is in page_load or any other events fired after Init(), it won't be maintained. If ASP.NET want to maintain viewstate for your dynamic control, create it on Init() event.

I am creating dropdownlist on Page_load event. I want to use value of this dropdownlist for other control in Page_load event.

Well, if you are using Content place holder, then what is the issue ? FindControl() is not working for you ?
