try this-

C#

private void FillBatch()  // Batch
   {
       try
       {
           SqlDataAdapter da=new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT  Batch_Year,BatchId FROM Batch", con);
         Dataset ds=new Dataset();
da.Fill(ds);
           if (ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count > 0)
           {
               DDL_Batch.DataSource = ds;
               DDL_Batch.DataTextField = "Batch_Year";
               DDL_Batch.DataValueField ="BatchId";
               DDL_Batch.DataBind();
               DDL_Batch.Items.Insert(0, "Select");
           }
       }
       catch (Exception ex)
       {
           HandleException.SendMail(ex);
       }
   }

try below code

C#

protected void BindCountryDropDown()
   {
       DataTable dt = null;
       using (conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["tempdbConn"].ConnectionString))
       {
           using (SqlCommand cmd = conn.CreateCommand())
           {
               cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
               cmd.CommandText = "SELECT  Batch_Year,BatchId FROM Batch";
               using (SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd))
               {
                   dt = new DataTable();
                   da.Fill(dt);
               }
           }
       }
       ddlCountry.DataSource = dt;
       ddlCountry.DataTextField = "Batch_Year";
       ddlCountry.DataValueField = "BatchId";
       ddlCountry.DataBind();
       ddlCountry.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("Select Batch"));

SqlConnectionString con= new SqlConnectionString("Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Trusted_Connection=True;");
