Hello friend, Try this code:

C#

public void PopulateYears(int startYear)
{
    List<int> years = new List<int>();
    int currentYear = DateTime.Now.Year;
    for (int year = startYear; year <= currentYear; year++)
    {
        years.Add(year);
    }

    // Bind the dropdownlist
    ddlYears.DataSource = years;
    ddlYears.DataBind();
}

- DD

Solution 1

XML

int currentYear =Convert.ToInt32(DateTime.Now.Year);
      List<int> yrs = new List<int>();

      for (int i = 2013; i <= currentYear; i++)
      {
          yrs.Add(i);
      }

then u can bind a list to dropdown hope this will help
