How do you add items to a drop down list in aspnet?
I want to add the "add new" at a specific index, but i am not sure of the syntax. I have the following code
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DRPFill();
if (!IsPostBack)
{
DropDownList1.Items.Add("Add New");
}
}
public void DRPFill()
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
//Object
AddMajor objMajor = new AddMajor();
//Data Table
DataTable dtMajor = objMajor.find();
//Data Source
DropDownList1.DataSource = dtMajor;
DropDownList1.DataValueField = "MajorID";
DropDownList1.DataTextField = "MajorName";
//Data Bind
DropDownList1.DataBind();
}
}

Try this, it will insert the list item at index 0;
DropDownList1.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("Add New", ""));
