There is an error that ReturnAnimalDetails method is not in current context, but I have changed the method name to returndetails and saved it.

This error message is still showing

Line 81:     public DropDownList FillDropDownList(DropDownList DropDownListName)
Line 82:     {
Line 83:         DataTable dt = ReturnAnimalDetails().Tables[0];
Line 84: 
Line 85:         DropDownList ddl = dbObject.FillAndReturnDropDownList(DropDownListName,dt);

It doesn't matter what the name is, if it is in a different Class or Namespace, then it is not available to you code, unless you specifiy where it is, and have permissions to it.

It may be as simple as using "MyClass.ReturnAnimalDetails", or you may need to refer to a specific instance. Where did you declare ReturnAnimalDetails and was it public or private?

The code that you decided to show us does not declare ReturnAnimalDetails(), it has no closing parenthesis and the initial public declaration has problems.
There is no indication where the other items are and it will be impossible to help without more information/code.

I know you would like help, but you need to help us help you by providing far more than you have.
