Question

Without creating an extra class, I want to bind a asp.net DropDown control to a collection of Dictionary<char,string>. Is it possible?
Can you advise, please? Following is the code which i’ve tried.

 public void FillStatusOptions(Dictionary<char, string> avalibaleStausDictionary)
 {
      ddlStatus.DataSource = avalibaleStausDictionary;

      //TODO: Point to current avalibaleStausDictionary.Key ?
      ddlStatus.DataValueField = ... ?

      //TODO: HPoint to current avalibaleStausDictionary.Value ?
     ddlStatus.DataTextField = ... ?
 }

Answer 1

ddlStatus.DataTextField = "Value";
ddlStatus.DataValueField = "Key";
