Adding an additional option to a bound dropdown list

[estafford]

I have a dropdownlist control that is filled using a database query.
I also want to add an additional option to the list that is not pulled from
the database.
How can I go about doing that?

I've tried adding a list item to the control, but that seems to be
overwritten by the databinding.

Thanks for any help

Add it after DataBind() using Items.Add, or Items.Insert if you need it at a
specific location.

Brilliant!
Thanks William.

I was using items.Add but it placed the option at the end of the list and I
had to write extra code to have it selected by default. The Items.Insert was
exactly what I needed.

Thank You for you help...
