I'm looking to have a custom control developed for my website. I'm using ASP.NET 2.0 (VB.NET) Visual WebDeveloper Express. I want dropdownlists with optgroup from database table source so it's rendered like this:
<optgroup label="Guide">
<option value="8">guide story 1</option>
<option value="9">guide story 2</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="Theme story">
<option value="37">story 1</option>
<option value="38">story 2</option>
</optgroup>
The content filling the dropdown list is an access database. I have a field called atype which determines the type of the content (Guide, Theme story and so on). For every group of these types there should be created an optgroup in the dropdownlist output.
