Hi,
UploadSP spUpload = new UploadSP();
ddlStudent.DataSource = spUpload.StudenntNameViewForUploadingFile(Decimal.Parse(ddlClass.SelectedValue.ToString()),ddlDivision.Text);
ddlStudent.DataTextField = "studentName";
ddlStudent.DataValueField = "studentId";
ddlStudent.DataBind();
ddlStudent.Items.Insert(0, "--Select--");
