Question

I have dropdownlist,which get filled from table1.That table1 has Zero value.While filling the dropdown,want to add “–select Name–“.But at what index I have to add the select Name.I can not add it at -1 position.

Answer 1

You could insert the ‘–Select Name–‘ at index 0 but with value -1, and then you can check the value -1 later to identify your ‘–Select Name–‘ item.

YourDropDownList.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("--Select Name--", "-1"));
