    OK, I got this piece of code tfrom a previous post that gets the data I'm looking for. Now what I want ot do is bind it to a dropdownlist if possible. Have the categoryID as the datavaluefield and the title as the datatextfield.
     

    using (DotNetGallery.GalleryDataProvider provider = DotNetGallery.GalleryDataProvider.CreateInstance(Context, "~/MyGallery/"))

    {

    //get all category

    string[] categoryArray = provider.GetCategoryArray();

    for (int i = 0; i < categoryArray.Length; i++)

    {

    string title;

    string description;

    string properties;

    string physicalPath = provider.PhysicalDirectory;

    string virtualPath = provider.VirtualDirectory;

     

    if (provider.GetCategoryInfo(categoryArray[i].ToString(), out title, out description, out properties))

    {

    //show all title in label1

    //title is the name of the category

     

    string s2 = "Category id = " + (i+1).ToString() + " title = " + title + "<br/>";

    Label1.Text += s2;

    }

    }

    }

    Thanks Ken. I only just circled back and saw your reply. It appeared to work and then I noticed once I reached album category 10, it shows as 1 in the dropdown list. I'm not sure how to fix that.
