I have about 5 drop downlists on my webform that are all filled with the same information from a database. Instead of going through one at a time at runtime and populating these dropdownlists, is there anyway to use a controlcollection to fill these in a loop? Let me explain a bit more:
They all have the same naming scheme except for the last character which is a number (ie DropDownList1, DropDownList2, etc...) I want to iterate through them and attach a datasource like this:
for (int i = 0, i <5, i++)
{
DropDownList(i).DataSource = ds;
DropDownList(i).DataTextValue("Value");
} Is there anyway to do this with a ControlCollection or sometype of array? I've been messing with ControlCollection but haven't had any luck.
Thanks!
