Solution 2

I'd say the only way would be to parse your txt file and store the parsed data into a class, or a KeyValuePair List or what's better in your situation and then just iterate thru your items.

You also can create your class to store the Key / Value info, and then override the ToString function so you can display the data as you desire.

Hope it helps.

Solution 1

Split the text on the space delimiiter for every row in the file.
Then add the first item in the returned array into the dropdown.
