Question

This is my database table. Now I want to combine Branch_Id, Acc_no and Acc_Type so that it looks like 000178963503 or 000211111102 and display it in a dropdownlist
My code is

string[] account_number;
 string account;
for (int j = 0; j < dtAcc.Rows.Count;j++)
                    {
                        account = Convert.ToString(dtAcc.Rows[j][2])+Convert.ToString(dtAcc.Rows[j][5]) + Convert.ToString(dtAcc.Rows[j][3]);   ///Account Number
                        account_number =account.Split(' ');                                              
                    }
Drp_AccType.DataSource = account_number;
                    Drp_AccType.DataBind();

Thanks

I am not sure what are you achieving with account_number =account.Split(' ');

//here is the list which will be source of combo box
List<String> accounts = new List<String>();
//go through each row
for (int j = 0; j < dtAcc.Rows.Count;j++)
{
    //combine branch, account no and type
    String account = Convert.ToString(dtAcc.Rows[j]["Branch_Id"]) + Convert.ToString(dtAcc.Rows[j]["Acc_no"]) + Convert.ToString(dtAcc.Rows[j]["Acc_Type"]);   ///Account Number
    //add account/row record to list
    accounts.Add(account);                                              
}
//bind combo box
Drp_AccType.DataSource = accounts;
Drp_AccType.DataBind();
