    New to SP 2010 coding. I want to fill multiple dropdowns on one page in SP with data from multiple stored procedures. How would I go about that for SP 2010 using VS 2010? I can establish a data source in SP, but am not sure how to reference it in code. Would I want to create an application page or a visual web part?

    Another simple approach might be (if you don't want to use BCS), create Data Access Layer/Repository using Entity Framework or Enterprise Library, to read data from database as DTO objects. Then bind the DTO objects in dropdown. One simple code might be:

     

    ProductRepository productRepository=new ProductRepository();
var products=productRepository.GetAllProducts();
ddlProducts.DataSource=products;
...
