Hi in asp.net I can easily do the following on a databound dropdown list:

myDdl.SelectedIndex = myDdl.Items.IndexOf(myDdl.Items.FindByValue("MyItem"));

So that it would show say the 3rd (or whatever) item in the list on load

How do I do the same for a comboBox in win forms?

Thanks

You can either use SelectedIndex, SelectedItem, SelectedText, or SelectedValue depending on what you have and what you're trying to do. I'm probabbly misunderstanding your question. As far as I can tell the comboboxes are pretty much the same between asp.net and windows forms.net
