you are trying to set value selected from drop down to top hence you would need a public property in controller

 

public <object_type> top {get; set;}

 

also if pop is a list then use apex : selectoptions (plural)

 

 check details in visualforce guide

I already tested that ,my geter,seter are public only.

Hi

 

You are binding the <apex:SelectOption> directly with sObject List

rather doing this do it like this way

 

 

 

public List<SelectOption> getpop()

{

 

pop = [select customfield__c from CustomObject__c limit 100];

if (pop.Size() >0)
{
for(CustomObject__c c:pop)

{
if (c.customfield__c != null)
options.add(new SelectOption(c.customfield__c,c.customfield__c));
}
}

return options;

}

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you got the feel of what i am trying to explain you

 

:)

I missed one more line of code

 

Please add this in function

 

List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>();
