Displaying news by custom field

Hi I am trying to create a dropdown in news widget using date, so that when I select the date from dropdown it displays news from that date forward. My approach was to add asp control for dropdown

<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" OnSelectedIndexChanged="itemSelected" ></asp:DropDownList>

In code behind I populated the dropdown

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

if(!Page.IsPostBack)

int thisYear = Convert.ToInt32(System.DateTime.Now.Year);
for(int i=2012; i<=thisYear; i++)

DropDownList1.Items.Add(new ListItem(i.ToString(), i.ToString()));

ListItem lsitem = new ListItem("Select Year Range", "0");
DropDownList1.Items.Insert(0, lsitem);

Than when item is selected from dropdown it calls following method in code behind

protected void itemSelected(object sender, EventArgs e)

            
       

I want to know if the approach is correct, if so than how to access the news by that year?

Thanks
