I am trying to populate a dropdown list with company names that are stored in a database. I am able to do that fine. I also want the dropdown list to have the default value be "New Company" so if they select no company, it will redirect them to a page where a new company profile can be created. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

You can set AppendDataBoundItems to True on the drop-down list, and the simply add the static item in the markup of the page.

The following link outlines a solution quite nicely..

In short you'll need to define an additional ListItem in your DropDownList.
<asp:DropDownList .... >
   <asp:ListItem Text="New Company" Value="" />
</asp:DropDownList>
