The ListBox/Dropdown list use a external datasource(sharepoint list) as a datasource to popula开发者_StackOverflowte the items. But there is one problem, the first item is a blank item, can we remove it?

Best Regards,

If you are using .net 3.5 you could use some LINQ to filter out the empty ones:

var ds = from SPListItem item in GetListItemsCode()
         where item.Title != string.Empty
         select item;
