# Dropdownlist DataValueField in asp.net c#

I have [multiple](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/12797/iowa-is-expected-to-see-heavy-growth-in-multiple-sectors) [items](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/33812/getting-number-of-items-selected-in-uicollectionview-in-ios) in [asp](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/751/introduction-to-asp-dot-net-mvc) [drop down](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/263/drop-down-list-problem) list and I want to set its DataValueField to one by one using loop. I did it as follow.

```
int cnt = ddl2.Items.Count; for(int j=0;j<cnt;j++){    string val = ddl2.Items[j].ToString();    int datafieldid = // want datavaluefield id here}
```

Please help.

Thanks.
