can someone please send me an example of how i can do such.

to make things short, how can I add data from recordset to a dropdwon list .

set the dropdownlist.datasource to ur dataSet

set the dropdownlist.datamember to the table name in ur recordset

set the dropdownlist.datatextfield to the field which will be the text to display for an option in the list

set the dropdownlist.datavaluefield to the field which will hold the VALUE for each option in ur list

then execute dropdownlist.databind()

<script language="WHAT DO I PUT HERE FOR VISUAL BASIC!?">
sub BindComps()
    dim cnOzSite as oleDbConnection
    dim adOzSite as oledbDataAdapter
    dim dsComps as new DataSet
    dim dsDivs as new Dataset
    dim connStr, sql as string
    dim TMPAREA as Integer

    TMPAREA = 1

    connstr="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\OzSite.mdb"
    sql="SELECT Name, CompID FROM Competition WHERE AreaID = " & TMPAREA & ";"

    cnOzSite = new oledbConnection(connStr)
    cnOzSite.open

    adOzSite = new oledbDataAdapter(sql, cnOzSite)
    adOzSite.fill(dsComps, "dtComps")

    ddlComps.datasource = dscomps
    ddlComps.datamember="dtComps"
    ddlcomps.datatextfield = "Name"
    ddlcomps.datavaluefield = "CompID"
    ddlcomps.databind()
    ddlComps.selectedindex = 0
    bindDivs()

end sub
</script>

Thats what i had.

It connects to an Access Database
