if

obj.MasterBranch_FetchByZoneId_DataSet(ZoneId);

return DataSet then rty to find the index of table e.g.

ddl.DataSource = obj.MasterBranch_FetchByZoneId_DataSet(ZoneId).Tables[0];

thax for reply.... but

obj.MasterBranch\_FetchByZoneId\_DataSet(ZoneId);

returning value to the dataset... my problem is that

clsDropDownList obj = new clsDropDownList();
ddlBranch = obj.Bind_DdlBranch(3);

is not binding data to the physical dropdownlist. where

obj.Bind_DdlBranch(3);

is returning the dropdownlist

Did you try to

Bind()

ddlBranch control after you call function which return DropDownList e.g/

clsDropDownList obj = new clsDropDownList();
ddlBranch = obj.Bind_DdlBranch(3);
ddlBranch.DataBind();

First of all, How is your dropdown list added in the UI? Please make sure you are adding the same dropdown returned from the function in a panel or a table. Secondly do check if your dropdown is filled while debugging in your function scope (Bind_DdlBranch in this case). Hope that helps...
