The following code shows how to bind a DropDownList control with data from a table in the DataBase.


string s = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["constr"].ConnectionString;

private void bindtoddl()
{
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(s);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select FieldName from TableName", con);
SqlDataAdapter sda = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
sda.Fill(ds);
DropDownList1.DataSource = ds;
DropDownList1.DataTextField = "FieldName"; // FieldName of Table in DataBase
DropDownList1.DataValueField = "FieldName";
DropDownList1.DataBind();

}
