Populating a SelectList from a DataTable

Question

I ran a query and returned a datatable,

myDataAdapter.Fill(myDataTable);

Now what is the best way to load the row values \"Value\" and \"Te

Answer 1

It's way too late for me to answer but I think this might be an optimized way to do it, hope it works.

List listName= new List();

for (int i = 0; i < datatableName.Rows.Count; i++)
   {
     listName.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = datatableName.Rows[i]["ColumnName"].ToString(), Value = datatableName.Rows[i]["ColumnName"].ToString() });
   }

You can also loop through the column names as well by applying another loop and using that as an index at the column identifier of the datatable.

Thank You.
