I was reading a table row by row and adding a specific column to a dropdownlist without duplicates. I tried several seemingly good responses from the internet and none of them.

This worked for sure with a boolean reply. Let me know if it work for you please!!


DropDownListNam e.Items.Contain s
(DropDownListNa me.Items.FindBy Text(row["ColumnName "].ToString()));

Everel!!
