What I have tried:

<asp:TableCell ColumnSpan="2" Style="padding-left: 30px; padding-bottom: 20px;">
                                            <asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="ddlshopname" CssClass="PMSdropdown">

C#

DataTable dtprojects = new DataTable();
           dtprojects.TableName = "Project";
           DataColumn dcproject = new DataColumn();
           dcproject.DataType = Type.GetType("System.String");
           dcproject.ColumnName = "shopId";
           dtprojects.Columns.Add(dcproject);

           dcproject = new DataColumn();
           dcproject.DataType = Type.GetType("System.String");
           dcproject.ColumnName = "Shopname";
           dtprojects.Columns.Add(dcproject);

           DataRow drprojects = dtprojects.NewRow();
           drprojects = dtprojects.NewRow();
           drprojects["shopId"] = "1";
           drprojects["Shopname"] = "Shop1";
           dtprojects.Rows.Add(drprojects);

           drprojects = dtprojects.NewRow();
           drprojects["shopId"] = "2";
           drprojects["Shopname"] = "Shop2";
           dtprojects.Rows.Add(drprojects);

           ddlshopname.DataSource = dtprojects;
           ddlshopname.DataTextField = "Shopname";
           ddlshopname.DataValueField = "shopId";

           ddlshopname.DataBind();

You can use CSS to do that.

HTML

<style type="text/css">
    option:hover{
         background-color:black;
         /*background-image: url("paper.gif"); haven't tried it yet*/
         color:white}
</style>

Hope, it helps :)
