C# Combobox "Default Text" DropDownList

When I change the combobox style to DropDownList, it works fine. But the thing is I can't display default text such as "Select a country" without making it as a option. "Select a country" should not be an option rather a default text which disappears when the user click on the combobox.

The best option would be to put "Select A Country" as an actual selection but assign it to a string and then within your code, have that as your default value so:

string s = "Select A Country"
if(combobox.Text != s)
{
 combobox.Items.Remove(s);
}

this will remove the value once something else has been selected
