Populate DropDownList in C#

    I am trying to populate a dropdownlist from MySql DB depending on what value is in a label.
    The information will be coming from two different tables (Team)and(Player) i.e depending on what team is put into the label, player names will load into the dropdownlist.

    I know that I will need to use foreign keys but is it possible to write a query using the value in a label?

    I was thinking something like "select * from player where teamID = (select teamID from team where TeamName = "label.text" )"

    Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

    Are the team names unique? You could use something like 
    Select p.* from player p 
inner join team t on 
p.TeamID = t.TeamID
where t.Name = [i]'teamname'[/i]

    teamname being the text being supplied.

    However, whats to stop you having two dropdowns, one containing all the teams and one containing all the players. So a team is selected and all the players for that team are populated into the players dropdown. That would be the basis for more robust solution.
