>Bind Webmethod names with in asp.net control

First, you can call webservice on client (JavaScript) to retrieve the data.

It depends on what format you are receiving the data from the WebService but the syntax is as follows:

Dim reader As New System.IO.StringReader(<Webservice>) 

DataSet dataset = new DataSet(); 
dataset.ReadXml(reader); 

myDropDownList.DataSource = dataset.Tables[0]; 
myDropDownList.DataValueField = "value_field"         
myDropDownList.DataTextField = "text_field"
myDropDownList.DataBind();

The reader object is used to access the Webservice feed which and is expecting an XML string (for this example)
