DropDownList AppendDataBoundItems (first item to be blank and no duplicates)
I have a DropDownList inside an UpdatePanel that is populated on postback from a SqlDataSource. It has a parameter which is another control. I sometimes need multiple postbacks, but what happens is that each time the update panel refreshes, items are added to the DropDownList. So the DropDownList ends up having data that is incorrect, or repeated data.
