DropDownList help

[Brett Baisley]

Hello

I am trying to populate an asp dropdownlist by doing the following:

ddlArtist.items.add(myReader.GetString(0), myReader.GetInt32(1))

However, this doesn't work. I am trying to add an item with a name, value
pair, but I can't seem to figure out how. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

Try This

ddlArtist.items.add(new ListItem(myReader.GetString(0),
myReader.GetInt32(1)))

Then how do I get it out of there? selected.value or something like that?
