How to set the value of a Gtk.ComboBox?

Question

All I can figure out is something to do with the ComboBox.GetEnumerator or something like that.

I would like to do something like:

System.Collections

As an alternative you can set the "selected index" like this if you have the elements of the ComboBox stored in an Array or List

for (int i = 0; i < combo.Model.IterNChildren(); ++i) //iterate over ComboBox elements
{
  if (myList[i].Equals(elementToSelect))
  {
    combo.Active = i;
    break;
  }
}
