Solution 1

Use below code

C#

int startYear = 1950;
var data = Enumerable.Range(startYear, DateTime.Now.Year - (startYear - 1));
                ddl.DataSource = data;
                ddl.DataBind();

Here, ddl is object of DropDownList.

After ddl.DataBind(); Add this line....

ddl.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("- Select -"));
