I just read

" all List-type Web Controls have a property called Items, which is a 
collection of the list items held within that control. To add an item to the 
end of the control's list, you use the Add method. "

The .Add property doesnt even exist. Im so confused...

.Add is not a property.

.Add is a Method.

And it is a method of the Items collection, not a method of the
component.

So if your component is a ListBox, the way you add an item to the list
is by calling ListBox.Items.Add(AnItem).

AnItem must be of the correct type. In the example of a listbox AnItem
is of type ListItem.

Note that none of the .NET components/classes etc. have a 'T' in front
of the class/component type name, this is because it's all Microsoft
Stuff, virtually nothing in asp.net in the pro sku is from Borland.

Hi Marco, unfortunately you are incorrect. The .Add method does not exist. 
This is how you add...

Took me 3 hours to workout...but it works perfect :) :P

var
  ClientListArray: array of System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem;
  ClientDB: TClientDB;
  ClientList: TList;

Begin

SetLength(ClientListArray, ClientList.Count);

  for Loop := 0 to ClientList.Count - 1 do
  begin
    ClientListArray[Loop] := ListItem.Create('moo1', 'moo2');
  end;

  DropDownList1.Items.AddRange(ClientListArray);
