VS2010/C#: How do you set the default value of a ComboBox in the IDE?

Question

I\'m writing a Windows Forms app in C#, using Visual Studio 2010.

It has a combo box. I\'ve set the DropDownStyle to \"DropDownList\", and added a few lines to \"Items\

Answer 1

I'm not sure if this is what your asking for but if you want a specific item to be set as default I.E you load the form and there is already a value selected for you.

Simply put this into your public Form1() method.

comboBox1.SelectedItem = "Test1"; 
//comboBox1 change to the name of 
//your combobox
//Test1 change to the item in your list of items that you want 
//defaulted.

I think that is by far the best way to do it.
