Hi J,

You can get drop down list value by using Prevalues like below.

    List<string> li = new List<string>();
    var values = PreValues.GetPreValues(DataTypeId);
    foreach (DictionaryEntry de in values)
    {
        PreValue pv = (PreValue)de.Value;

        // Here you will get id and value of the data type drop down list
        // pv.Id
        // pv.value
    }

Hope this will help you.

My code is

        private void BindColors()
    {
        List<string> li = new List<string>();
        var values = PreValues.GetPreValues(1234);
        var ddlColors = (DropDownList)lv.FindControl("ddlColors");

        foreach (DictionaryEntry de in values)
        {
            PreValue pv = (PreValue)de.Value;

            // Here you will get id and value of the data type drop down list
            ddlColors.DataTextField = pv.Value;
            ddlColors.DataValueField = pv.Id.ToString();
        }

        ddlColors.DataSource = values;
        ddlColors.DataBind();
    }

the error message i receive is "DataBinding: 'System.Collections.DictionaryEntry' does not contain a property with the name 'Blue'."? Any thoughts

Hi J,

Can you please check the ID of the data type that it is proper or not?

And try with the below code.

private void BindColors()
    {
        List<string> li = new List<string>();
        var values = PreValues.GetPreValues(1234);
        var ddlColors = (DropDownList)lv.FindControl("ddlColors");

        foreach (DictionaryEntry de in values)
        {
                PreValue value = (PreValue)de.Value;
                ListItem li = new ListItem();
                li.Text = value.Value;
                li.Value = value.Id.ToString();
                ddlColors.Items.Add(li);
        }

    }

Hope this will help.
