Databind ASP.NET List of ListItem to DropDownList issue
Hi when databinding (to anything) you need to set the DataTextField and DataValueField of your DropDownList. In your case you should use the following code List<ListItem> users = new List<ListItem>(); foreach (SubscriptionUser su in subscriptionDetails.UserList) { users.Add(new ListItem(su.FirstName + ” ” + su.LastName, su.EmailAddress)); } ddlPrimaryContact.DataTextField = “Text”; ddlPrimaryContact.DataValueField = “Value”; ddlPrimaryContact.DataSource = users; ddlPrimaryContact.DataBind();
