"Select All Items" as default for databound dropdown list

Question

2.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I have a dropdown list which is bound to a gridview. I would like to add a dropdownlist item which, when selected, will default to displaying ALL gridview rows. So I would like as the first dropdown list item "Select ALL Items," have this as the default, and have the gridview display ALL items.

Thank you.
