Hi, After binding your dropdownlist to the datasource you can explicitly insert a listitem to the dropdown list. the following is the code. dlst.Items.Insert( 0, "Select One" ); I hope this will help u.

Hi U can use a Required Field validator and set Initial Value Property to "Select country name" So that if u select the item " Select country name " it wont select ... I think this will useful for u Bye Naresh.s.s
