Avoid autoselect in combobox

In the load procedure of a form I am filling a combobox with data from a
database. The combobox fill the data OK, but it is automatic showing the
first item of the list as the text. How can I avoid the first item in the
list to be selected as default? I want the textbox of the combo to be left
empty until the user select an item.
My Code below:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVa l sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load

MyDataAdapter.S electCommand.Co mmandText = "SELECT MyDescription, MyID
FROM MyTable"
MyDataAdapter.F ill(MyDataSet)
ComboBox1.DataS ource = MyDataSet
ComboBox1.Displ ayMember = "MyTable.MyDesc ription"
ComboBox1.Value Member = "MyTable.My ID"

End Sub

ComboBox1.Selec tedIndex = ComboBox1.Items .IndexOf("")
