Method 1. you don't need a label, you can set the selected value of the dropdown list on Edit directly.
I am guessing that there are multiple controls on your insert form, like TextBoxes and dropdown list.
when you insert the values of all controls, then in the database you must have an Id field as an identity column.

On edit click just pass the Id value to the page and then retrieve other values based on Id.

Method 2. your way (with label) Note:- the data source of the drop-down list should be set during Edit as well.
DropdownList1.Items.FindByValue(lbl1.Text).Selected = true;
