DropDownList Showing First Item Empty

enter image description here

Every time this Dropdown is showing first Item Blank 

 ComboBox cb;
 List<string> namesCollection=new List<string>();
 namesCollection.Add("---- Select ----");
 namesCollection.Add("ABC1");
 namesCollection.Add("ABC2");
 namesCollection.Add("ABC3");
 namesCollection.Add("ABC4");
 foreach(string pname in namesCollection)
 cb.Items.Add(pname);

Does anyone have solution for this ?

You probably have a line feed in your items collection. Hard to see. Adding a cb.Items.Clear() before populating is probably a good idea anyway and will get rid of the problem, if you can't locate it.

You appear to be defining the ComboBox right there in your code, so I'll assume it's actually displayed somewhere in your form / window.

It's normal for the ComboBox to display a blank line initially.

Specify the item you want to display, immediately after populating the ComboBox with data:

cb.SelectedIndex = 0;
