Here is the code...
It shows an error : Object refernce not set
The selected index value remains nothing...
Can u tell me where I have gone wrong?

hi,

you should assign autopostback=true

aspropDownList [B]AutoPostBack = true [/B]id="ddl_Opcode" runat="server" DataValueField="Opcode" DataTextField ="Opcode" DataSource ="<%#TempDataView%>" >

</aspropDownList>

and another thing you can directly assign mydatable.defualtview
instead of tempdatatable
Private Function populateDropDownList()
Dim mydatatable As New DataTable
mydatatable.Columns.Add("Opcode", Type.GetType("System.String"))
' Declare row
Dim myrow As DataRow
' create new row
myrow = mydatatable.NewRow
myrow("Opcode") = "CREATE"
mydatatable.Rows.Add(myrow)
myrow = mydatatable.NewRow
myrow("Opcode") = "UPDATE"
mydatatable.Rows.Add(myrow)
myrow = mydatatable.NewRow
myrow("Opcode") = "DELETE"
mydatatable.Rows.Add(myrow)
ddl_Opcode.Datasource = mydatatable.DefaultView
ddl_Opcode.Databind()


End Function
