So im trying to creae a dynamic data project using asp.net.

my project has 2 tables, FruitTable and SellerTable.

I had it set so the primary key in 'fruit table': name. was the foreign key in 'seller table'

I added a new class which contains the code to link to the new fieldTemplate I added(DropDown)

[MetadataType(typeof(UsingDropDownMetadata))]
public partial class UsingDropDown
{
}

public class UsingDropDownMetadata
{
    //DropDown is name of field templates
    \[UIHint("DropDown")\]
    //use in field date in tracing table
    public object DropDownFromTextBox { get; set; }
}

then in the dropDown_Edit.ascx I used the toolbox to get a drop down list and link it to the fruit table.

Now when a user creates a new item, they can select the names of fruit to add.

However I would like to hard code this so I have removed the r/s btn fruit and seller table

In dropdownEdit.ascx iv added it manuall

<asp:DropDownList id="DropDownList1" runat="server"
DataSource="<% databindingexpression %>"
DataTextField="DataSourceField"
DataValueField="DataSourceField"
AutoPostBack="True|False"
OnSelectedIndexChanged="OnSelectedIndexChangedMethod">

<asp:ListItem value="value" selected="True|False">
Text
</asp:ListItem>

</asp:DropDownList>
then in the dropdownedit.ascx.cs

I want to hard code to pull across the values but am not sure if I am doing this right. please advise

protected void OnSelectedIndexChangedMethod(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

//text here

}
