Ok, I'm a complete novice with Infragistics controls, but I've been doing .NET and other 3rd party controls for years.

I just downloaded the latest version and I'm starting a new project - I thought that I'd start with a simple task - bind a list of products to the Webdropdown.  After all, I've done this for years using the standard <asp:dropdownlist>  control.

When I run the page, the webDropDown contains "System.Object[]" repeated 6 times (because my sql statement is only returning 6 rows). Why isn't it databinding??

Yes, the SQL works....   Yes, If I databind to a <asp:Dropdownlist> it works......  So why does the WebDropDown display "System.Object[]"   ?

Thanks - Jim

HTML:

<ig:WebDropDown ID="WebDropDown_Products" runat="server" Width="200px">
            </ig:WebDropDown>

Code Behind:

protected void Load_WebDropDown_Products()
    {
      string queryString = "select top 6 prod_code from ProductCodes";

      using (SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["xxxxxx_ConnectionString"].ConnectionString))
      {
        System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand mysqlCommand = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(queryString, myConnection);
        myConnection.Open();
        SqlDataReader myDataReader = mysqlCommand.ExecuteReader();
        WebDropDown_Products.DataSource = myDataReader;
        WebDropDown_Products.ValueField = "prod_code";
        WebDropDown_Products.TextField = "prod_code";
        WebDropDown_Products.DataBind();
        myDataReader.Close();
      }
    }
