title: ASP.NET Dropdown list :Binding More value for option
body: <p>I have a table with 3 columns <code>ID</code>, <code>Name</code> and <code>shortname</code>. I am binding this to a ASP.NET dropdonwlist control. I specified <code>DataTextField</code> as <code>ID</code>, <code>DataValueField</code> as <code>Name</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Now the dropdown renders the list item properly and I am able to select the ID of the selected option. I want to have the short name also with the ID. Is there any way to do this? I.e. I want to read the ID, Short name and Name from the selected option of the ASP.NET dropdownlist</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts?</p>
