If you are binding a combobox to a datasource how can you add the infamous "select one" as the first visible selection. I have done this for webforms using the 'listitem" but it seems that this need has been overlooked for windows forms.

Thanks

Hi, pat capozzi

Try something like this:

d = 63.5;

this.comboBox3.Items.Add("aa");

this.comboBox3.Items.Add(1);

this.comboBox3.Items.Add(d);

this.comboBox3.SelectedItem = d;

//this.comboBox3.SelectedItem = 1;

//this.comboBox3.SelectedItem = "aa";

Hope it helps.
Best Regards.

Hi pat :

Item can't be modified when the combobx set datasource, so do you mind add first row at your datatable as "select" ,

thento show it in the combobox

Thanks Bob,

Yes that is a solution, but in Framework 2.0 how do you add an Item to a non bound combobox when the only parameter that the Item.Add method takes is an object.
