hi,
I want to call a Procedure to populate drop down in a form. Right now I am using the code like this:
<td class="style4">Choose Category: <font color="red">*</font></td><td class="style3"><asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" DataSourceID="cat1" DataTextField="catname" DataValueField="catname"></asp:DropDownList><asp:SqlDataSource ID="cat1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:billingdatabase%>" ProviderName="System.Data.SqlClient" SelectCommand="SELECT [catname] FROM [Category]"></asp:SqlDataSource></td>
The Procedure in DB:
go create procedure [dbo].[spshowproducts] as begin select catname from Category end GO
Please tell me how to call this procedure in the aspx code to populate the dropdown.
