    Hi,

    I have a dropdownlist that I bind on a table. Is it possible to also add value to this dropdownlist using user input? Basically like a combobox but in asp.net...

    Thanks,

    kztn

    Hi kztn,

    You can input a textbox control and a button control, and implent the function in the event botton_click. For example:(suppose your table is datatable)

            Dim row As DataRow = dt.NewRow
        If TextBox1.Text <> "" Then
            Dim str As String = Me.TextBox1.Text.ToString.Trim()
            row("listname") = str 'suppose the column name is listname
            dt.Rows.Add(row)
        End If

    And then you can refresh your binding code.

    Hope this helps.

    thanks,

    Minna
