Dynamically populating a dropdown list in ASP.Net

[Shikha1234]

Hi,

I have two dropdowns.
I want that the DDL2 gets populated based on the values in DDL1.
How can I achieve that.

This is the way I am populating DDL1

string cmd = "Select * from abc ";
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter( cmd, connection);

DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds);
DropDownList1.D ataSource = ds;
DropDownList1.D ataTextField = "Name";
DropDownList1.D ataValueField = "Code";
DropDownList1.D ataBind();
DropDownList1.I tems.Insert(0, "--Select--");

right, just set property Autopostback=tu re for DDL1 and populate ur DDL2 in selected indexchanged event of DDL1.
to get selected value of DDL1
dropdown1.selec tedItem.value
& for text
dropdown1.selec tedItem.text
