RadioButtonList

[Jim McGivney]

On an asp.net2 page I have a DropDownList in the item template of a
databound template of a DetailsView control.
Everything works fine if the databound value is a member of the items-list
of the DropDownList.
But, when a value not on the list, typically a null value is encountered an
error is thrown.
How can I have the DropDownList accept null values ?
How can I have the DropDownList check for and handle values not on the item
list ?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jim
