How to populate a DDList(not from database) from the code behind???

[NawazAhmed]

Hi,
Can someone help me with populating a drop down list from code behind.
I want to populate the drop down list of years for credit card and the selected value should be the current year.
I am using asp controls(server side controls) in VS 2003


Thanks and Regards,
Nick.

Since you want both a valuemember and a display member, I would suggest creating a DataTable object in memory with two columns and populating them, then you can assign it as the datasource and set the ValueMember and DisplayMember to the column you want.

Nope, that answer exactly applied to you. Although Nate's answer might make more sense for you.

Plater's advice would also work well. It just depends which way you want to go.
