Asp.net dropdown value nothing
<p>Using SQL Server and ASP.NET.</p>

<p>I am populating a drop down list on a form from one table sat NAME, ID... where dropdown text=NAME and dropdown value=ID...</p>

<p>Form is having field storing this ID field value. (act as foreign key referencing above table having NAME, ID fields)</p>

<p>and 1st item in dropdown list is : Text='Select'. What value should be specified for this item, so that if nothing is selected (i.e. text = select) then in database it should not store anything. </p>

<p>If I use empty string it takes zero as vlaue, if I use NULL then it stores NULL value.</p>
