Create a ListItem. Set the value and the text properties and then add it to
the drop down list. I'm not sure about VB.Net but in C# it would be
something like this:

using System.Globalization;

dtfi = new DateTimeFormatInfo();
for (int month = 1; month < 13; month ++)
{
    ListItem li = new ListItem();
    li.Text = dtfi.GetMonthName(month);
    li.Value = month;
    ddlMonth.Items.Add(li);
}

Do basically the same thing for each drop down list. Translating the C# to
VB should be pretty straight forward.

Hope this helps,

Dale
