droplists and databinding in ASP.NET

I'm having a small issue with databound droplists. I have a droplist that
is connected to a datareader and I want to be able to select the first item
in the list. Unfortunately selecting the first item in the list results in
nothing happening even though AutoPostBack is set to true. If I select any
other items in the list I get an autopostback and things work correctly, I
can then select the first item in the list and it will work.

Is there some command that I'm missing that will allow the first item in the
list to be considered a "SelectedIndexChange" ?

The code that binds the droplist is below:
Me.ActiveDropList.DataSource = ds
Me.ActiveDropList.DataMember = "UserWishList"
Me.ActiveDropList.DataTextField = "WishListName"
Me.ActiveDropList.DataValueField = "UserWishListID"
Me.ActiveDropList.DataBind()

The result is a droplist with the first item in the dataset already
selected. I've tried to set Me.ActiveDropList.SelectedIndex = -1 but that
does nothing after the databind().

Any help would be appreciated.
