Thread: comma separated app config values for dropdown lists

Hello everyone,

I customized the createaccount.aspx page and added a dropdown list on it. What I want is that the values on the dropdown list will be coming from a comma-separated app config value.

Can someone tell me how to do this?

Thanks in advance for the help...

You can use something like this to get your AppConfig values into a string array:

Code:

            string values = AppLogic.AppConfig("YourAppConfigName");
            values.Trim();
            string[] valuesArray = values.Split(',');

Then just do a while loop on the array to add the values to your dropdown list.

Or something like this to keep from looping.

Code:

    Dim valuesArray As New ArrayList
    valuesArray.AddRange(AppLogic.AppConfig("YourAppConfigName").Trim.Split(","))
    ddlDropList.DataSource = valuesArray
    ddlDropList.Databind
