I have a ComboBox bound to a dataset. I want to add an Item "<Select an
Entry>" to the combo box. It is in addition to the items already added to the
control through the Dataset (From DB). How it can be done?

Thanks.
 
Thanks for that.
Once a Combobox is bound to a dataset, adding items through
ComboBox.Items.Insert(0, "First Entry") raises exception ("Items collection
cannot be modified when the DataSource property is set").

After binding the combobox add your entry at item[0].
Good luck with your project,

Well I'll be darned!

I never bind data to ComboBoxes used for lookup lists. That's another good
reason for not doing it.

You need to add it to your dataset (or rather to the contained datatable)
after you have filled it with data from your db but before binding the
combobox to it.
