<asp:DropDownList ID="dropdown" runat="server" Font-Bold="True" Style="z-index: 100;

left: 222px; position: absolute; top: 341px" Width="239px" Height="23px" Enabled="False" AutoPostBack="True" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlHandlerRouteName_Select edIndexChanged">
<asp:ListItem>----New Item?----</asp:ListItem>

<asp:ListItem>Hello</asp:ListItem>

whn user click on new item show textbox and hide drop down and when he write new item in textbox then add tht item in drop down and make it visible

protected void dropdown_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

if (this.dropdownSelectedIndex == 0)
{

this.textbox.Text = "";
this.dropdown.Visible = false;

this.textbox.Visible = true;
}

}

protected voidtextbox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

int index = 0;if(!this.dropdown.Items.Contains(new ListItem(this.textbox.Text.Trim())))
{

this.dropdown.Items.Add(this.textbox.Text.Trim());
}

for (int i = 0; i < this.dropdown.Items.Count; i++)
{

if (dropdown.Items.Text == this.textbox.Text)
{

index = i;

}

}

this.dropdown.SelectedIndex = index;
this.dropdown.Visible = true;

this.textbox.Visible = false;
}
