populating a drop down box with ms access information

what is the best way to populate a drop down box with a list of names in a database? i'm using webmatrix/asp.net and the names are in a field called "name" .

dim ConnString as string = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=MyDBPath;"
dim conn As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(ConnString)
dim cmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand()
dim dr as OleDb.OleDbDataReader
cmd.connection = conn
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
cmd.CommandText = "select id, name from mytable"
try
 conn.open
 dr = cmd.executereader() 'assuming dr is your datareader
 myDropDownList.datasource = dr
 myDropDownList.DataTextField = "name"
 myDropDownList.DataValueField = "id" 'example of assinging a value field too
 myDropDownList.Databind()
finally
 conn.close
end try

This is an example using a datareader for quick access and ideal for dropdownlists. You will see examples using datasets too but this just happens to be my preference from a performance point of view.
