adding values to the dropdownlist via loop in asp.net

I'm developing web-application, in this I want to add all months values on the client side browser in registration form.

I'm doing it manually by adding all months' values one-by-one. I want to know is it possible to add all months with by putting one for loop in my code or not.

Suggest me if it's possible.

Thanks

This is one option...

for (int m = 1; m <= 12; m++)
{
   dd.Items.Add(new ListItem(new DateTime(2000, m, 1).ToString("MMMM"), m));
}

UPDATE

I know the question has already been "correctly answered", but taking into account @Jamie's comment, I thought I would add an alternative using the same principle...

DateTime dt = new DateTime(2000, 1, 1);
for (int m = 0; m < 12; m++)
{
   dd.Items.Add(new ListItem(dt.AddMonths(m).ToString("MMMM"), m));
}

Why do it in code at all? Just statically add the months in the aspx file:

<asp:DropDownList Id="ddlMonths" runat="server">
    <asp:ListItem Text="January" Value="1" />
    <asp:ListItem Text="February" Value="2" />
    <asp:ListItem Text="March" Value="3" />
    <asp:ListItem Text="April" Value="4" />
    ...
</asp:DropDownList>

Last time I checked, the months don't change very much! :)

Here you can do it without the loop:

List<string> months = new List<string>() { "January", "Feburary", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" };
dropDownList1.DataSource = months;
dropDownList1.DataBind();

Or if you insist on using loop:

List<string> months = new List<string>() { "January", "Feburary", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" };
foreach (string month in months)
{
     dropDownList1.Items.Add(month);
}

try with this code

foreach (string name in nameList)
{
    ddl.Items.Add(new ListItem(name));
}
