How to insert first blank row to binded ComboBox?

Hi,
If u want to add text like "Select" or "None" in combo box (drop down list) in .NET framework window form control. There is no such way to add items in combo box's items property after you set DataSource. To avoid this you can add one more item in your datasource. For example if you are trying to bind combo box list through DataTable then add one more row into DataTable.

Here i am posting you sample code for adding one row into the fetched dataTable

private void BindCombo()

        {

            DataTable dataTable = GetDataTable();

            DataRow row = dataTable.NewRow();

            row["Code"] = "None";

            row["Name"] = "None";

            dataTable.Rows.InsertAt(row, 0);

            comboBox1.DisplayMember = "Name";

            comboBox1.ValueMember = "Code";

           

            comboBox1.DataSource = dataTable;

          

 

        }
