Hi there,
I'm really struggling with this tonight (this being exactly what it says on the tin, (or the subject!)). 


Code I'm working with right now is:
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then Dim Category As String Dim CategoryReader As OdbcDataReader = Database.Read("SELECT * FROM tblBlogCategory") While CategoryReader.Read() Category = CategoryReader("Category").ToString() End While DropDownList1.DataSource = Category DropDownList1.DataBind() End If

I've also tried things like

DropDownList1.DataSource = Database.Read("SELECT * FROM tblBlogCategory") but it just stubbornly refuses to populate the list (i.e. the page
always loads with a blank drop down list). 

An idea I'm playing around with is putting the values of the Category table into an array, but it seems to have a problem with that as well.  Go to the complete details ...
