Use the DataBound event of the list box like this :-

 protected void lstBox_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (lstBox.Items.Count > 0)
    {
        lstBox.SelectedIndex = 0;
    }
}

Hope this helps.

In your code-behind, add the following to your Page_Load event handler:

protected override void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.listbox_Userrole.SelectedIndex = 0;
}
