Blank top row in ListBox

[Mark Aurit]

Im populating a drop down list box from a database, and Id
like the top row to be blank - or be populated with the
words " select from entries below ", or something along
those lines.
I suppose I could do this at the database level, but it
seems it would be cleaner if I could populate the control
and before rendering it insert the line at the top. There
is a prerender event for the list box, but Im having a
difficult time with this, and I was hoping someone else
had some ideas.
Can anyone help?
Thanks, Mark

Hi,

After you load your drop list with data, you can then insert a row at the
top as follows:
DropDownList1.Items.Insert(0, "Select one")

Does that answer your question?

Thank you, Mike
