Add items to a dropdown control connected to a database

Question

I have a control dropdown connected to a BD and wanted to add an item to force the user to choose an option.

How can I add another item (choose/select/----------) to the control in order to force the user to make the choice?

I’ve tried to add through Edit Items... but it doesn’t work.

Answer 1

In his dropdownlist, change the property AppendDataBoundItems for True. The items you now add via Edit Items... will appear along with comic items.
