Question

I have a DropDownList being populated with items coming through DataBinding from a WCF webservice. However, whenever I first start the page the first item in the list gets selected automatically, while I would like it to start completely blank. Perhaps I could easily solve this by adding a blank item on the top of the list’s items, but I don’t want this blank item to show once the users clicks the DropDownList. Can I accomplish this in any easy way?

Answer 1

DDL.InsertAt(0, new Item('','0'));
DDL.Attributes["onclick"] = "if(this[0].value=='0') this.remove(0);";
