Hi Raymond,
try this instead assuming you want the country code to be the actual value
and county name to be the display text.

IList<UIModel.Country> a=getcountrycodeandname(); dropdownlist1.DataSource = a;
dropdownlist1.DataValueField = "countrycode"; dropdownlist1.DataTextField
= "countryname";

dropdownlist1.DataBind();
