    I was wondering if there is any way that I could have a null value (or any other static value) appear at the top of a drop down list which is then populated from an AccessDataSource.


    I need it so that users can select a tag for their post (within a social networking system) if they wish to post to a group page or they can simply leave the list as null to post to their profile.


    Any help would be much appreciated.

    You can set the AppendDataBoundItems property to "True" and add one static/blank item to dropdownlist like below:


        <div>
        <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlDropDown" runat="server" AppendDataBoundItems="true">
            <asp:ListItem Selected="True" Value="" Text="--Select--" />
        </asp:DropDownList>
    </div>



    hope it helps./.
