Dropdown list Last value

[aish]

I fill dropdown lists values from the database then I wants to hard code first value and last value. I already hard code first value it's like this.

cboName.Items.Insert(0,new ListItem("----Select----","0"));

how can I hard code last value of the dropdown list, I want to add last value as a ----Other----. can anyone help me?
Thanks.

Do a count of the number of ListItems, and then store that in a variable and add 1 and then add your last value = Other

example:
nCount = {count of the number of item entries in the dropdownlist}

cboName.Items.Insert(nCount + 1,new ListItem("OTHER","0"));

Hope this helps

I believe you can also do the following:

cboName.Items.Add(new listitem("Other","0"))

'item_name' would be the name of the item you want to add

And, another option for hard-coding the first entry, or the first several entries is to add the entries on the actual .aspx page in the tags, and then set the cboName's AppendDataBoundItems property to true. Though that's just a personal preference.
