binding a list<listitem> to drodownlist in detailsview

[tdsmithj]

Hi i have a detailsview where I want to dynamically create a listitems in dropdown list.

i have added a databond

protected void DisplayRecord_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DropDownList returnControl = (DropDownList)DisplayRecord.FindControl("ddlCategoryEdit");
returnControl.Controls.Add(UserCategoryDetails.constructListFromDataBase());
returnControl.DataBind();
}
}

how would i bind a list of listitems to a datagrid in a detailsview or another way if possible.

Thanks.

returnControl.Items.Add(new ListItem(text, value));
