Option Groups in List Boxes

[Ben Mann]

Hi There,

I've been using asp:listboxes for a little while and see that they are very
useful for both DataBinding and adding listitems to.

I was wondering whether anyone knows if its possible to get them to output
<optgroup> tags as well.
I need to group my list items using them, but can't see that any support for
them has been built in.

I know that i generate the select box myself, but then i lose the serverside
functionality.

Thanks.

You could certainly write your own Server Control with this functionality.
