Combobox empty

[Massy]

Hi

I am using a datareader to retrieve values from my database and fill a combobox. Can anyone tell me how i would display a message in the combobox if no results are returned. At the moment i just get a blank combobox which may be confusing to the user

Many th

If you are using the 1.1 framework

if(dr.HasRows){
combobox.Items.Add(dr.Getxxx());

}
else{combobox.Items.Add("No Records Here");}

If you aren't, you can set a flag which is set to false and gets set to true
within the dr.Read()...it's it's false when you get out of the loop, Add
some other text to indicate that there's nothing there.
