Yes you are on correct way of databinding DropDownList.

Just correct your code by writing DataValueField for binding value rather then DataTextField twice.

It's just done.

Thank you for your question. You can follow the bellow code.

C#

// Specify the data source and field names for the Text
// and Value properties of the items
// in the DropDownList control.
DropDownList1.DataSource = YourDataSourceHere();
DropDownList1.DataTextField = "textname";
DropDownList1.DataValueField = "textid";
// Bind the data to the control.
DropDownList1.DataBind();
// Set the default selected item, if desired.
DropDownList1.SelectedIndex = 0;

Thanks,
Mamun
