'Select...' in ComboBox

How do I add a column 'Select...' to a databound Combobox? ... So that
users will see that?
In windows application.

You mean it shows up before they actually selects something?

ComboBox.Text = "Select...."

Hope it helps
Chris

Add it to the schema of the dataset the combobox is bound to.
