hi,
you use4d this way
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlSiteMaster" runat="server" Width="168px">
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfvProdSitea" runat="server" ControlToValidate="ddlSiteMaster"
Display="None" ErrorMessage="Please select Product Site" SetFocusOnError="True"
ValidationGroup="pa" InitialValue="0">

here in the validator i set InitialValue = 0 for the drop down so you set your -Choose one- 's value to 0
