Question

i want to fill a dropdown by a datatable
bcoz i’v already a method GetCate() in bal, which returns datatable and now want to dynamically fill the data into a ddl with some datasource and databind script, could it b possible ???

why does not possible to assign a datatable into a dropdownlist???

public void BindCateDDL()
{

    DataTable dt = new BALCate().GetCate();        
    ddl_filter_category_id.DataSource = dt;
    ddl_filter_category_id.DataBind();
}

is this a right way to do this ???

Answer 1

All you have to do is to bind the dropdown to your datatable as follows;

ddl.DataTextField = "ColumnName1";
ddl.DataValueField = "ColumnName2"
ddl.DataSource = dt;
ddl.DataBind()
