Hi Brent,
What you need to do is set up a public/protected method that returns an IEnumerable data source, such as a DataSet, DataTable, etc.
The input parameters can be whatever you need to make the data distinct.
Then, in your DataList, just use the following code:
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" id="DropDownList1" DataSource='<%# GetMyData(<ADD INPUT PARAMETERS>) %>' DataMember="<IF NEEDED>" DataTextField="Field1" DataValueField="Field2" />

Can anyone direct me to a tutorial on how to set up a dropdownlist in a
datalist? Each dropdownlist in the datalist needs to pull back different
information based on the datalist item it resides in.
I am not having much luck finding any information on this.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Brent
