Databound drop down list - initial value

Question

How do I set the initial value of a databound drop down list in ASP.NET?

For instance, I want the values, but the first value to display should be -- Select One ---

Answer 1

hi friend in this case you can use the

AppendDataBound="true"

and after this use the list item. for e.g.:

but the problem in this is after second time select data are append with old data.
