Do you mean like this
ComboBox.SelectedIndex=0

When you say ComboBox, always provide a fully-qualified type name. There are different classes in different libraries.

I assume you have binded your combobox in codebehind.

C#

Dim cmd As New SqlCommand(Query, connection)
Dim dt As New DataTable()
Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter(cmd)
da.Fill(dt)
Dim dr As DataRow = dt.NewRow()
dr("column name") = "Your default text here"//We created default row that needs to be entered at first position 
dt.Rows.InsertAt(dr, 0)//Inserted at first place
ComboBox.DataSource = dt
ComboBox.DataBind()
