Does your page load look something like this.
private Page_Load( ... )
{
if ( Page.IsPostBack == false )
LoadDDLItems();
}
or
private Page_Load( ... )
{
LoadDDLItems();
}
If your looks like the second approach, every postback you are dumping what
the user selected and recreated all the items. During your LoadDDLItems
method, you probably also are adding the blank record at position 1, and
might even be setting the index.
Make sure you are only binding the data to your DropDownList when the
IsPostBack property of the Page is false.
Post your code if you need more help.

I'm populating it during the Page_Load method.
Items I add are being all shown ind dropdownList, but as reported an
empty string is being reported in SelectedItem.Text
