Data structuring help needed.

[arun.hallan]

Hi,

I need some structuring help.

I have a set of data, in the form of an arraylist of objects.
Each object is the same, and can be treated as a generic object which
gets and sets properties.

I want to display this in a datagrid - which is not too hard.
I've done this by mapping the object data to a datatable, and then
databinding the datatable to the datagrid.

I also retrieve other data from the database, depending on the data
from the datagrid. The problem is, a few results may come back for one
field. EG two id's come back.

What i want to do is to display these results in a dropdownlist, so the
user can select what result they want.

How could/should i go about doing this?
Thanks

Hi hallan,

It’s pretty similar to the way you bind datagrid:

ddlObj.DataSource = datatableObj;

// Mapping
ddlObj.DataValueField = "ValueField_Name";
ddlObj.DataTextField = "TextField_Name";

ddlObj.DataBind();
