0	Hi Sheeba, Add method adds the new item to the dropdownlist (or listbox) at the end of it and Insert method let you specify the index where you want to insert the new item. ddlItemName.Items.Insert(3, new ListItem("SELECT", "0")) Above code should add "SELECT" item at the 4th position as it is 0 based index.

Hi Sheeba,

Add method adds the new item to the dropdownlist (or listbox) at the end of it and Insert method let you specify the index where you want to insert the new item.

ddlItemName.Items.Insert(3, new ListItem("SELECT", "0"))

Above code should add "SELECT" item at the 4th position as it is 0 based index.

Thanks

0	Hi Sheeba, I think your dropdownlist count less than 4 then only its shown an error. Try this...If you insert the postion at '4' if(ddlItemName.Items.Count >=4) { ddlItemName.Items.Insert(3, new ListItem("SELECT", "0")) } Thanks, T.Saravanan Sheeba, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	Ya, Saravanan is correct. Make sure that the index you are mentioning is within the max number of items in the DropDownList. Thanks Regards, Sheo Narayan http://www.dotnetfunda.com Sheeba, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
