Syntax for adding new list item?

[Guest]

If have a dropdown control and have set this to the first position of the
dropdown":
ddUserRole.Items.Insert(0, "Select Role...");

But, I want to be able to set the value of the above item to zero. I
thought it was this:
ddUserRole.Items.Insert(0, New ListItem("0","Select Role..."));

but it doesn't seem to be the case. I get the squigly line under ListItem.
Can anyone help out with the correct syntax?

Should be right.

is System.Web.UI.WebControls imported?

What's the actual error?

That's what I thought too. Forgot to mention this is an ASP 2.0 app.
The squiggly line appears under ListItem and under the last parenthesis.

The error for the ListItem is: ") expected"
The errors for the last paren are: "; expected" and "Invalid expression
term ')'"
double quotes are not part of the error.

That's because C# is case-sensitive - change "New" to "new" and all will be
well again...
