[RESOLVED] can you bind an dropdownlist to a constant array?

I have a dropdownlist in my web form that will have dynamic content based on the selecteditem of ANOTHER dropdownlist on the same page.

I was wondering if I can bind this dynamic dropdownlist to an array that will always be constant (i'll have many of these constant arrays, but they all will have different data). I figured out how to bind it to an ArrayList but i'm not sure if that will work because i don't know whatthe value of the SelectedIndex will be if I just fill the dropdown list with an ArrayList.

Hope this makes sense. Thanks for your help!

SelectedIndex would be -1.

The ArrayList should work just fine.

so will the value be the same as the text field? thats my main question. SOrry if I confused you.

Thanks for the replies!

They should be, yes.

GREAT!

Thank you, I'll test and RESOLVE this post.

You've been a great help!
