Question

I want to add a ‘Select One’ option to a drop down list bound to a List<T>.

Once I query for the List<T>, how do I add my initial Item, not part of the data source, as the FIRST element in that List<T> ? I have:

// populate ti from data                List<MyTypeItem> ti = MyTypeItem.GetTypeItems();     //create initial entry     MyTypeItem initialItem = new MyTypeItem();     initialItem.TypeItem = 'Select One';     initialItem.TypeItemID = 0; ti.Add(initialItem)  <!-- want this at the TOP!     // then      DropDownList1.DataSource = ti; 

Answer 1

Use the Insert method:

ti.Insert(0, initialItem);
