how to make my C# ComboBox display a value when it is running?

Question

I just created a ComboBox in my VS2008. I put four items for it, One, Two, Three and Four. When I run it, nothing displayed by default. I need to select one to display. How can I make it displaying the second item by default at very beginning without my selection? I tried by put a number inside the DisplayMember and ValueMeme property but it doesn't work.

thanks,

Answer 1

Use the SelectedIndex property:

private void MyForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ComboBox1.SelectedIndex = 0;
}

Answer 2

You can set the SelectedIndex property of the combobox. Setup work like this is often done in the Form's Load event.
