Hi Venkat,
As you are using the WDP ActiveX dropdown in your form, it is fine but to populate values in the DD, you need to bind the context attribute with a simpletype and then populate the values. Use the below code to obtain a ModifiableSimple Type:
IWDAttributeInfo abcInfo = wdContext.nodeABC().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("AttributeName");
                    ISimpleTypeModifiable def = abcInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
                    IModifiableSimpleValueSet abcValueSet = def.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
and after this put te values in the obtained modifieable simple type like below:
abcValueSet.put(key,value);
where key may be the ID and value may be the name to be displayed in DD.
