Loops and drpLists

[hpl]

I have a sub looking like this:

Protected Sub bindMaterialer1()
        'Denne fuktion henter samtlige kunder fra databasen
        Dim strCn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;"
        strCn += "Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("priser.mdb") & ";"
        Dim cn As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection(strCn)
        Dim cmdText As String = "Select Id as matId, Materiale FROM MedieMatNy Order By Id"
        Dim cmd As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand(cmdText, cn)
        cmd.Connection.Open()
        mat1.DataSource = cmd.ExecuteReader()
        mat1.DataValueField = "matId"
        mat1.DataTextField = "Materiale"
        mat1.DataBind()
        cmd.Connection.Close()
        cmd.Connection.Open()
        mat2.DataSource = cmd.ExecuteReader()
        mat2.DataValueField = "matId"
        mat2.DataTextField = "Materiale"
        mat2.DataBind()
        cmd.Connection.Close()
        ...
        cmd.Connection.Open()
        mat10.DataSource = cmd.ExecuteReader()
        mat10.DataValueField = "matId"
        mat10.DataTextField = "Materiale"
        mat10.DataBind()
        cmd.Connection.Close()
    End Sub

I have 10 drpList, isn't it possible using a loop instead of writing the code 10 times?

Unfortunately no since control arrays no longer exsist in the .NET environment.

There may be a way, but I dunno what it is.
