ASP.NET: Populating a dropdown with a datavalue field different from the datatext field
I am trying to populate a drop-down list with data returned by a SQL Server stored procedure but make it so that the data value text field is one field returned by the stored procedure and the data value field is another value returned by the stored procedure (the stored procedure returns a field called 'Parent Name' and another field called 'Parent ID'). The code behind is VB and I will post it below:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim s_SQL_Database_Connection As SqlConnection
Dim s_Connection_String As String = Session("Connection_String")
Dim s_SQL_Command As SqlCommand
Dim s_Record_Set As SqlDataReader
s_SQL_Database_Connection = New SqlConnection(s_Connection_String)
s_SQL_Database_Connection.Open()
s_SQL_Command = New SqlCommand("EXEC Krandor.MattA.__Parent_List", s_SQL_Database_Connection)
s_Record_Set = s_SQL_Command.ExecuteReader()
Dim parent_name As String
Dim parent_id As Integer
While s_Record_Set.Read
parent_name = s_Record_Set.Item("Parent Name")
Me.cbo_parent.Items.Add(New ListItem(parent_name))
End While
s_Record_Set.Close()
s_SQL_Database_Connection.Close()
End Sub
Public ReadOnly Property parent_id() As String
Get
Dim s_parent As String
s_parent = cbo_parent.DataValueField
Return s_parent
End Get
End Property
Basically, in the while loop, I want to set 'Parent Name' to the text field for each drop-down item and 'Parent ID' equal to the value field for each drop-down item. Any help will be greatly appreciated and I apologize if this question has been asked already (I searched but could not find anything that I could apply to my situation).

You can pass the Parent ID field value as a second parameter to ListItem constructor:
While s_Record_Set.Read
parent_name = s_Record_Set.Item("Parent Name")
Me.cbo_parent.Items.Add(New ListItem(parent_name, s_Record_Set.Item("Parent ID")))
End While
