You have to add after the bind and do it every time the list is rebound

Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] problem to insert value in dropdownlist on
formView control

Hello,

I'm using the SqlDataSource to insert value in dropdownlist, but i want
to add a -- Add New -- at the end of the list, but can't find a way to
make it.



It works very well if I delete the SqlDataSource of the DropDownlist...

maybe the inserted item is overwrited by the SqlDataSource !!?



protected void FormView1_ItemCreated(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        if (FormView1.CurrentMode == FormViewMode.Insert)

        {

            DropDownList dropDownList1;

            dropDownList1 =
(DropDownList)FormView1.FindControl("DDL_ca");

            if (dropDownList1 != null)

            {

                dropDownList1.SelectedIndexChanged += new
EventHandler(DDL_ca_SelectedIndexChanged);

                SqlDataSourceActions.ConnectionString =
"ConnectionString";



                dropDownList1.Items.Add(new ListItem("Add New1",
"999"));

                dropDownList1.DataSourceID = "SqlDataSourceActions";

                dropDownList1.DataValueField = "CA_code";

                dropDownList1.DataTextField = "CA_desc";

                dropDownList1.DataBind();

                dropDownList1.Items.Add(new ListItem("Add New2",
"999"));

            }

        }

    }



Any Ideas?
