DropDown List Default Selected Item

Hello (again),

I have gotten the dropdown list functionality to work through a few tricks
(probably not the most efficient, but it works) but I am not sure how to set
the default selected value. I have tried setting various values to represent
the default value with little success. Essentially I am looking to have the
first item in the list be the default selected item. I noticed in the
properties for a dtat grid you could set a default selected index
(DataGrid.SelectedIndex =). Is there a similiar property for the Dropdown
list that I am just not seeing?

DropDownList.SelectedIndex = 0 does not seem to work.

Regards,
Kris
