Hi,

I have a DropDown bound to a DataTable and I would like to add "Please
Choose" as the 1st default item. I know that I can add "Please Choose" to
the DataTable; but I wonder if I do the same without manipulating the
DataTable.

Thanks,
Max

if you're using ASP.Net 2.0, just change the 'AppendDataBoundItems' property
to 'True', then, in the Items property (or in the tag), add the list item
you need.
