You need to tell it what fields to use as value and text. <pre><code>ddlList.DataSource = sqlTa; ddlList.DataValueField = "ValueField"; ddlList.DataTextField = "TextField"; ddlList.DataBind(); </code></pre> And your select statement is missing a ". It should be: <pre><code>"Select Item FROM Calendar Where UserD='Test'" </code></pre> An Example being: As ryan pointed out if you are pulling back one field then you can just do: <pre><code> DataTable dtTable = new DataTable(); try { using (SqlConnection sqlConnection = new SqlConnection("Your connection")) { using (SqlCommand sqlCommand = new SqlCommand("Select Item FROM Calendar Where UserD='Test'", sqlConnection)) { sqlConnection.Open(); using (SqlDataReader sqlDataReader = sqlCommand.ExecuteReader()) { dtTable.Load(sqlDataReader); sqlDataReader.Close(); } } } } catch (Exception error) { throw error; } ddlList.DataSource = dtTable; ddlList.DataBind(); </code></pre> But if you have more then one field then you can do this: <pre><code> DataTable dtTable = new DataTable(); try { using (SqlConnection sqlConnection = new SqlConnection("Your connection")) { using (SqlCommand sqlCommand = new SqlCommand("Select Item, id FROM Calendar Where UserD='Test'", sqlConnection)) { sqlConnection.Open(); using (SqlDataReader sqlDataReader = sqlCommand.ExecuteReader()) { dtTable.Load(sqlDataReader); sqlDataReader.Close(); } } } } catch (Exception error) { throw error; } ddlList.DataSource = dtTable; ddlList.DataValueField = "id"; ddlList.DataTextField = "item"; ddlList.DataBind(); </code></pre>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
