Set DataTextField and DataValueField on the dropdownlist, and
then get the data and bind it to the list.

This is needlessly complicated. Why are you looping instead of

Thank you friends, and sorry for delay, I managed to fill the drop down
list using datareader, and here is my code I hope it will help someone
who has same problem:
get list function to get the list of items to fil the drop down:
public void getList()
{
myConnection= connectMe.connect ();
myCommand = query.CreateMySqlCommand ("SELECT cityName FROM VM_CITY",
myConnection);
SqlDataReader myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader();
// Always call Read before accessing data.
while(myReader.Read ())
{
//get fron DB
//string codeDB = myReader.GetSqlDecimal(0).ToString ();
string cityDB = myReader.GetString(0);
citiesDdl.Items.Add (cityDB);
}
// always call Close when done reading.
myReader.Close();
}
////////////////////
Then I cal it in page_upload
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
//error.Text="connected";
if(!IsPostBack)
{
this.getList();
}
}
////////////

Subject: RE: [AspNetAnyQuestionIsOk] problem filling a drop down list
from a dataset
hello,
Thank you for your responde. I do not get erros..
I detected that this code doesn't work first because I
have put it into a try catch and it executes teh
catch, also because I do not get the data into the
drop down list.
I do not understand what's the problem, maybe I am
using the dataset in the wrong way!
do you have any documentation of how I can use
datasets to fill dropdown lists?
Regards
Thanks
