dropdown

[NuB]

I'm creating a web form in ASP.NET 2.0 (VB), and on my form I have several
drop downs being populated from the database. When my page loads the drop
downs are showing the data right way, and not my "Select a State" its
showing AL right away, how can I add "Select a State" in the drop down so
the user sees that first and not AL?

<aspropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server"
AppendDataBoundItems="True">

<asp:ListItem>Select State</asp:ListItem>

</aspropDownList>



Set the AppendDataBoundItems property to true. DataBind in code.
