Not sure what exactly you are looking for, but it sounds like you need to know how to populate a drop down list. ddl.Items.Insert(0, "--Select--"); ddl.Items.Insert(1, "Value 1 or whatever"); This is how you hard code the values to be displayed, if you want to load 'em dynamically, then use a dataset or something as a datasourse for this drop down list. Look at the code below: ddl.DataSource = ds; ddl.DataTextField = "Columns_Name"; ddl.DataValueField = "Column_Name"; // note this won't be diaplayed ddl.DataBind(); *NOTE : ddl = drop down list Hope this helps. sam Eating, drinking and coding...you can't have it better than that!!
