aspx_beginners thread: Binding Servers Control To An ArrayList


Message #1 by "Eng Teik Lim" <enterprise@t...> on Tue, 16 Apr 2002 10:34:08
Hello,

I have a problem with the ArrayList I am working on as an example. The 
return reply is that:

"Control 'myDropDownList' of type 'DropDownList' must be placed inside a 
form tag with runat=server."

I have placed the tag as mentioned but yet the returned as the above:

______________________________ Source code __________________

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>

<script language="vb" runat="server">
  Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    Dim al As New ArrayList
    al.Add("Item 1")
    al.Add("Item 2")
    al.Add("Item 3")
    al.Add("Item 4")
    al.Add("Item 5")
    myDropDownList.DataSource = al
    Page.DataBind()
  End Sub
</script>
<html>
<head>
<title>Sample Text</title>
</head>
<body>
  <p>
    <b>Binding to a DropDownList</b><br>
    <asp:DropDownList id="myDropDownList" runat="server" />
  </p>
</body>
</html>
