title: Adding default value to ComboBox
body: <p>I have a windows application that is using a <code>ComboBox</code> which previously had the 'Edit Items' filled out by hand.  I am changing this to grab the data from a <code>Database table</code>.</p>
  
  <p>How do I add a blank value so they must selected an option?</p>
  
  <p>Currently it automatically shows the first person returned from the <code>dataset</code> in the <code>comboBox</code> I'm wondering how I force it to show a blank value as the default?</p>
  
  <p>Designer generated code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    // attorneySelectDropDown
      // 
      this.attorneySelectDropDown.DataSource = this.jMeFileAssignAttorneyBindingSource;
      this.attorneySelectDropDown.DisplayMember = "name";
      this.attorneySelectDropDown.DropDownStyle = System.Windows.Forms.ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList;
      this.attorneySelectDropDown.FormattingEnabled = true;
      this.attorneySelectDropDown.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(13, 15);
      this.attorneySelectDropDown.Name = "attorneySelectDropDown";
      this.attorneySelectDropDown.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(298, 21);
      this.attorneySelectDropDown.TabIndex = 4;
      this.attorneySelectDropDown.ValueMember = "name";
      this.attorneySelectDropDown.SelectedIndexChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged);
  </code></pre>
