Hello,

Can we assign a dropdownlist to a datatable?

C#

DropDownList drp = new DropDownList();
        drp.Items.Add("Delho");
        drp.Items.Add("Mumbai");

 DataTable dt = new DataTable();
DataRow dr =dt.NewRow();

Is it possible to display the dropdownlist in datatable.

Thanks

Hello

Thanks for the reply.The code is displaying the items of the dropdownlist in the datatable but I want dropdownlist to be displayed in the datatable .It is like the way we add a dropdown in a gridview.

What you mean by display, as far as I know datatable is not a control and it cannot be used to display anything but bound to other controls to dispalay its contents.

try like below

 var lst=new List<string>();
DropDownList drp = new DropDownList();
        drp.Items.Add("Delho");
        drp.Items.Add("Mumbai");
foreach(object o in drp.items)
{
lst.Add(o.ToString);
}

DataTable table = ConvertListToDataTable(lst);
static DataTable ConvertListToDataTable(List<string[]> list)
	{
	    // New table.
	    DataTable table = new DataTable();

	    // Get max columns.
	    int columns = 0;
	    foreach (var array in list)
	    {
		if (array.Length > columns)
		{
		    columns = array.Length;
		}
	    }

	    // Add columns.
	    for (int i = 0; i < columns; i++)
	    {
		table.Columns.Add();
	    }

	    // Add rows.
	    foreach (var array in list)
	    {
		table.Rows.Add(array);
	    }

	    return table;
	}

Hope this helps
