Hi guys,<br />
<br />
need to know how I create an empty or 'Please select' entry in a drop down list that is populated from a dataset.<br />
<br />
I have the following, but it does not seem to work<br />
<br />
dd.Items.Add(&quot;Please select&quot;);<br />
dd.DataSource = dataset;<br />
dd.DataTextField = &quot;Code&quot;;<br />
dd.DataValueField = &nbsp; &quot;Value&quot;;<br />
dd.DataBind();<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />
<br />

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
