Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you wanting your combo box to contain something that's not in your database?

If that's the case, I'm not sure you can... once you bind it to a data source I think you can only display items in the database. If you want to work around this, perhaps it's a good idea to manually load the combo box instead of binding it.

I'm not 100% sure about this though, if anybody disagrees with me here please feel free to correct me.
