Dear All,
i am getting error in for loop as-->

1) "The best overloaded method match for 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItemCollection.Add( string)' has some invalid arguments"

2)cannot convert from "int" to "string"

the code is :
                int x=1;
        if(! this.IsPostBack)
        {
            for(x=1; x>=12; x++)
            {
                ddlid.Items.Add(x);
            } //for
        }

Plz help me out.

Thanks & Regards,
Muskaan.

You have to add a listitmeto the drop down:
Here is a code snipped fromt he VS Help

public void Button1_Click (object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   this.ListBox1.Items.Add(new ListItem("Carbon", "C"));
   this.ListBox1.Items.Add(new ListItem("Oxygen", "O"));
}

Jim, not entirely correct.

You can add a listitem with the overloaded .Add() method of the ListItemCollection class, but you have to provide it a string that will serve as text and value for the item:

ddlid.Items.Add(x.ToString());


Muskaan, please not that your loop will never be entered into. The testlogic is backwards:
   for(x=1; x>=12; x++)
should be
   for(x=1; x<=12; x++)

Thanks both of you.
Now its working.

But it is not showing the datagrid.

private void btnchoose_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    string strconn="Data Source=sapnew; Initial Catalog=master; Integrated Security=SSPI";
    SqlConnection myconn=new SqlConnection(strconn);
    string mysql="select * from feedback where id=" + ddlid.SelectedItem.Text;
    SqlDataAdapter Adfd=new SqlDataAdapter(mysql, myconn);
    DataSet Ds=new DataSet();
    Adfd.Fill(Ds, "Feedback");
    dgfeedback.DataSource =Ds.Tables["Feedback"].DefaultView ;
    //dgfeedback.DataBind();

    if(Ds.Tables["Feedback"].Rows.Count > 0)
    {
        dgfeedback.DataBind();
        dgfeedback.Visible =true;
        lblexec.Text =mysql ;
    }
    else
    {
        lblexec.Text =mysql + "<br><i>Sorry - no items exist with that ID</i>" ;
        dgfeedback.Visible =false;

    }


}

I am now able to run my program.
The step where i was lacking was that i havent set "auto generated columns" to true.
