Hi Suresh,

You could use the Insert method of the Items collection of the DropDownBox, 
right after you have bound the data to the DropDown.

This example uses an array as a datasource, but the same is true for 
binding to a database table

         Dim arrTest(2) As String
         arrTest(0) = "Apples"
         arrTest(1) = "Oranges"
         arrTest(2) = "Bananas"
         DropDownList1.DataSource = arrTest
         DropDownList1.DataBind()
         DropDownList1.Items.Insert(0, "Make a selection")
         DropDownList1.Items(0).Value = ""

The code above will insert a new item at location 0 (the first item in the 
list) The last line resets its value to an empty string. If you leave that 
out, "Make a selection" will be submitted as the controls value.
