check the target framework your project using. if its 3.0 then change to 3.5 and complie the code.

I tested your code; it works for me, therefore it is likely the code that precedes the LINQ statement has an error. The errors are saying that a semicolon is missing, so I would look at the code preceding the LINQ.

This code should work. Manikavellu is correct. IList _country = new List (); _country.Add("India"); _country.Add("US"); _country.Add("China"); _country.Add("Zimbabwe"); var query = from c in _country orderby c select c; DropDownList1.DataSource = query; DropDownList1.DataBind();

Below code works fine, just try this; List string > s = new List string >(); s.Add( "Manik" ); s.Add( "Babu" ); s.Add( "Velu" ); var s1 = from s2 in s orderby s2 select s2; DropDownList1.DataSource = s1; DropDownList1.DataBind();

Can you paste the error ?, It will be easier to provide the solution by seeing the exact error.
