dropdown list word wrap

Hi Everybody,

I'm a bit of a newb at .NET, so here is my problem...

I fill up a drop down list with values from a SQL database, everything
is fine and it shows up in my drop down list, however one of the
entries in the list is very long and it is causing my drop down list to
take up too much width on the screen, is there a way that I can
"word-wrap" the drop down list?

Thanks!

No i don't think so. I would set up limits in you database so the the vlues
in the table are of a reasonable length.
