Hi guys
I've got a dropdownlist which is being databound to an sqldatareader at
runtime. I want to add an extra Item to the list, not from the database.
I know I can do this with
ddl1.Items.Add(new ListItem("text", "value"));
works fine. However, if I put this above my DataBinding code, it doesn't
appear. After it it appears at the end of the list fine.
Question is, how do I databind AND get this item to the top of my list? It's
an ALL option y'see.
Cheers for any help!

ddlLocation.DataSource = Line.GetBrandingLocations
ddlLocation.DataValueField = "BrandingLocationID"
ddlLocation.DataTextField = "BrandingLocation"
ddlLocation.DataBind()
'the following line inserts at position 0
ddlLocation.Items.Insert(0, "(Select)")

Or
ddlLocation.Items.Insert(0, New ListItem("(Select)", value)
Thanks SImon, worked great.

Dan,
Do the databinding first and then call
ddl1.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("text", "value"));
