I want to display 2 columns namely 'block_code' and 'block_name' in DDL.
I use the follwoing code to display but throws an exception stating:
"Column 'block_codeblock_name' does not belong to table block."

adds1.Add(ds1.Tables[0].Rows[i]["block_code" + "block_name"].ToString().ToLower());

Can anyone guide me so that I would like to display both the columns in my DropdownList(DDL).

Try

adds1.Add(ds1.Tables[0].Rows[i]["block_code"].ToString().ToLower() + ds1.Tables[0].Rows[i]["block_name"].ToString().ToLower());

If these 2 are selected from a db table as separate fields then they would be separate fields in dataset also.
