best way to populate dropdown Lists

guys, ive got an application. that (when all is said and done)
have over 320 dropdown listboxes.
i was loading these dynamically at page.Load.
i.e. == cboR1.Items.Add("somecode") etc

would it be better to just hard code this in?
they all have the same info, they just populate different textBoxes.

thanks for any advice on this approach.

If they are all the same, why don't you create just one array and databind
all the ddls to it?
