Put the textbox on the page next to the drop down list. Set it's "visible" property to False in the HTML part of the control. When the user chooses "New...", in the code-behind, you set the Visible property to true so when the page draws again, the user can see and use the textbox. You might also like to add a "Save New" button next to the text box. Use the same technique for showing the button.
