>Is there any sort of limit to the number of items that the drodownlist control can handle? I am having a problem with one that has quite a few - it will only return the first one in the list no matter what I do.

You might want to check if there are invalid characters in the data somehow? I'm pretty sure ASP.NET will fix that up, but check the HTML for the list that gets generated. Especially watch for & and angle brackets in the text of the items.
