    setting a default value for a combo box...

    In my vb.net 2005 project I have a few combo boxes where I want to set a
    default value. I am not binding these combo boxes - I am loading the values
    directly in code from a dataset.

    Obviously the default I am settign will be one of the values from teh drop
    down list..

    How do you set a default value for a combo box??

    Thanks, Brad

      PS... If I try to set the text property, whatever I type in there is
      erased... This is what I thought I would have to do to set a default...

          Brad,

          If the combo box contains strings, you can set the SelectedItem property to
          one of the strings to select it.

          Or you can set the SelectedIndex property to the zero-based index of the
          item to be selected.

          Keep in mind that selecting a default value will have the side effect of
          causing the SelectedIndexCh anged event to fire.
