asp:dropdownlist with optgroup

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. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
