This I know is basic stuff, but I can't get it to work me. What I'm
trying to do is have a DropDownList populated by an array. I'm using
Visual Web Studio Express 2005. I need to put the below code somewhere
in my main code. Thanks in advance!
_________________________________________________

Public arrData As String() = {"Yankees", "Mets", "Cardinals"}

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Page.DataBind()
End Sub

DropDownList1.DataSource=yourArray

-- You need to spend some time studying how this all works, or you'll be
forever asking questions on newgroups and waiting for answers!
