How can you enable data binding to a DropDownList control in a web application?
- Call the DataBind() method after setting the data source
- Set the DataSource property to the desired data source
- Set the DisplayMember property to the name of the data source field to display
- Set the ValueMember property to the name of the data source field to use as values
In a web application, to enable data binding to a DropDownList control, you typically need to set the DataSource property to the desired data source, then call the DataBind() method after setting the data source. This ensures that the data is bound to the DropDownList control and can be displayed to the user. Setting the DisplayMember property specifies which field from the data source should be displayed in the DropDownList items, while setting the ValueMember property specifies which field should be used as the value for each item.
