use an array to assign values to list box [duplicate]

Question

I am Trying to use array to assign movie titles to list box. They select the movie in the drop down list then it shows up in the list box (this does not work) using C# and aspx

  protected void addToCartImageButton_Click(object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e)
  {

    string [] movieNameArray = new string [10];

    movieNameArray[0] = "The Advengers";
    movieNameArray[1] = "Titanic";
    movieNameArray[2] = "Frozen";
    movieNameArray[3] = "Boy";
    movieNameArray[4] = "Grown Ups";
    movieNameArray[5] = "Coach Carter";
    movieNameArray[6] = "More than a game";
    movieNameArray[7] = "Harry Potter";
    movieNameArray[8] = "Avatar";
    movieNameArray[9] = "Titanic";



    cartListBox.Items.Add(movieNameArray.ToString());
    DropDownList3.Items.Add(movieNameArray.ToString());

}

It would be better if you asked a question in the form of a question and not a statement about what you hope to achieve. — Aaron Carlson

You can bind your dropdown to the array. I.e. Instead of

DropDownList3.Items.Add(movieNameArray.ToString());

Use

DropDownList3.DataSource = movieNameArray;
DropDownList3.DataBind();
