Add a Default Item at last position of DataList - ASP.NET

You can create a DataList easily in asp.net, I need to add a default item at last position of Datalist, for example an item named "Add new Item", if Datalist is empty I can only see this default item if not I see it in last position. Hope I'm clear enough. Is this possible? if yes, HOW?

Assuming that you're data binding your DataList, you just need to add "Add New Item" to your data source before calling DataBind on your DataList. I don't know what your data source is but the logic should be similar to whatever you're using. If you're binding to a DataTable you will need to make sure that the sort makes your "Add New Item" entry be the last one. You may need to add a sort column or something that you give your own incrementing id to and sort based on that column. 

List<string> values = new List<string>();
            values.Add("Item 1");
            values.Add("Item 2");
            values.Add("Add New Item");
            DataList dataList = new DataList();
            dataList.DataSource = values;
            dataList.DataBind();
