Hi,

I have created a Dropdownlist in my aspx page and am populating this dropdownlist from the database.
This works perfectly fine, except that the first item from the databse always appears selected in the dropdown.

I want to add either a blank field or something like "-Select-" to be the first option in the dropdownlist.

Can anyone help me in achieving this?

Thanks in advance,

Jaya

After your DataBind() call, add an item to the dropdownlist.

dropdownlist.Items.Insert(0, ListItem)
