Hi,

I have a generic IEnumerable, say IENumerable<student> and each list contains student ID, student Name, Student Age.

I want to bind this to a dropdown list.

The dropdown list must show the student name and after selecting a student and click a button, i must be able to add the student id as query string and fetch the details and show the details in another.

How can i achieve this. I found out during my googling that i can just bind IEnumerable to ddl directly.

Thanks

Try like below...

C#
