Retrieve SharePoint List Data and bind this to a dropdownlist
I'm fairly new to SharePoint so apologies in advance for sounding like a 'Newbie'. I have created a simple Webpart, which uses a Web User Control - [ .ascx file] to provide all the controls for the Webpart. On the .ascx file, there is a DropDownList which is hard-coded at the moment and works well in the Webpart (within a SharePoint site). However, I want the DropDownList on the .ascx file to be bound to a particular Column of a SharePoint List, so that when I update that column of the SharePoint List, the DropDownList reflects the update automatically. Do any of you kind folk have any ideas
