}

I have to bind the method returned value to a dropdown list named ddlist .

How can i make it possible

(question no 2.) .. when i tried i get the message that can not bind ienumerable . . . .

You could change the method to return a datatable or loop through the IEnumerable and add the list items manually.

Check this blog post for another approach to what you're trying to do. http://geekswithblogs.net/mikethomas/archive/2007/01/15/103686.aspx

Code sample from blog (not mine):

public IEnumerable GetDataSource() {
    string key = "CodeDrowDownListTest_" + CodeName;

    object item = Page.Cache.Get(key);
    if (item == null)
    {
        item = GetDataFromDB();
        Page.Cache.Insert(key, item, null, System.DateTime.UtcNow.AddHours(1), System.Web.Caching.Cache.NoSlidingExpiration);
    }

    return (IEnumerable)item; }

 public override void DataBind() {
    this.DataSource = GetDataSource();
    this.DataTextField = "Text";
    this.DataValueField = "Value";

    base.DataBind();
}
