You could use attribute as in combination of disabled and selected. may this will help to get resolve your issue.

<asp:ListItem Selected="True" disabled="disabled">Select One</asp:ListItem>

You can also make it disabled in code behind on page load event

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    IssueList.Items[0].Attributes["disabled"] = "disabled";
}

also make your first item selected

                   <asp:DropDownList ID="IssueList" runat="server" Height="24px" Style="margin-left: 0px">
                         <asp:ListItem Selected="true" Value="">Select One</asp:ListItem>
                        <asp:ListItem>Bug</asp:ListItem>
                        <asp:ListItem>Enhancement</asp:ListItem>
                        <asp:ListItem>Tasks</asp:ListItem>
                        <asp:ListItem>New Feature</asp:ListItem>
                    </asp:DropDownList>

You can add an 'Empty' value item:

<asp:DropDownList ID="IssueList" runat="server" Height="24px" Style="margin-left: 0px">
    <asp:ListItem Selected="True"></asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem>Select One</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem>Bug</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem>Enhancement</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem>Tasks</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem>New Feature</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>

Then you would check for

if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(IssueList.SelectedValue))
