I need to have a control (currently trying to use listbox) where the user
can have nothing selected if they choose. Any way to do that with a list box
or would I be better off with a RadioButtonList ? Any other bound controls I
should look into?
Thanks!

Usually easiest done by adding an empty item at position zero after binding,
at leat that way the user can select nothing as an option

Hi, just wondering how to add an empty item at position 0 after data binding as I have a listbox that is currently setup with a databind, after using a stored procedure to fill a dataset?
Thanks.

I agree with John on the the empty item for the scenario if a user selects and item and decides to not select something, then the listbox would save that item selected. This would not leave the user a choice unselect their initial choice.

The problem is this:
I have a list box. I set an array list as the datasource. I remove an item
from the array list. I set the listbox datasource to nothing. I set the
listbox datasource to the array list again to refresh. Click on an item in
the list, and an Indexing error comes up. (in non-user code, it is trying to
get an element from the array that is greater than the number of items in the
array.)

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
