Hi,

Please try the following. It uses the datasource property rather than
looping through the records in the datareader.

If Not IsPostBack Then
Bind()
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Bind()
Dim Qry1 As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader
Dim connectionString As String = "server='localhost';
trusted_connection=true; Database='pubs'"
Dim sqlConnection As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection = New
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionStri ng)
Dim queryString As String = "SELECT au_id, au_lname, au_fname FROM
authors"
Dim sqlCommand As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand = New
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(queryString, sqlConnection)
sqlConnection.Open()
Qry1 =
sqlCommand.ExecuteReader(System.Data.CommandBehavi or.CloseConnection)
DropDownList1.DataSource = Qry1
DropDownList1.DataTextField = "au_id"
DropDownList1.DataBind()
Qry1.Close()
sqlCommand.Dispose()
sqlConnection.Close()
sqlConnection.Dispose()
DropDownList1.Items.Insert(0, "ALL")
DropDownList1.Items.Insert(0, "")
DropDownList1.ClearSelection()
End Sub
Thank you, Mike
