title: How can the blank space in a C# comboBox be filled as a hint for the user?
body: <p>When a comboBox in C# is dynamically populated the comboBox appears blank until the user clicks on it to view the available items in the dropdown.  Ideally, I would like to use this blank space (prior to clicking the dropdown) to be used to give the user a hint as to what s/he should do.  For example, it might say something like, "Select such-and-such..."  Is there a way to do this?  I tried setting the Text property, but that didn't do anything.  I am using Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition.  Thanks.</p>
