Select an item from DataGridViewComboboxCell

[kofteros]

I have a DataGridView in which one of its columns is a DatagridViewCombobox. This column contains values as
1. "ROAMING"
2. "MOBILE"
3. "TELEPHONY"...

I want to select an index from this DatagridViewComboboxCell programmatically, for example 2 ("MOBILE").

Is anyone knows an easy way of doing this.

Thak you

Hi hope this will give you some idea

<asp:DropDownList id="methdselect" runat="server" datasource='<%# Methodlist.items %>' SelectedIndex='<%#GetStateIndex(DataBinder.Eval(Co ntainer, "DataItem.Method")) %>'></asp:DropDownList>

Protected Function GetStateIndex(ByVal Method As String) As Integer
dim i As Integer = Methodlist.Items.IndexOf(Methodlist.Items.FindByTe xt(Method))
Return i
End Function

Where Methodlist is arraylist of all the methods you have included in the comboxbox i used to bind the same arraylist with comobox

Thank you for the reply

I am writing an application form and not an asp.
The values of the DataGridViewComboboxCell are retrieved from a database table (dataset).

e.g.
CType(DataGV1.Columns(1), DataGridViewComboBoxColumn).DataSource = DataSet1
CType(DataGV1.Columns(1),DataGridViewComboBoxColum n).DisplayMember = "Table2.PRODUCT_CON_DESCRIPTION"
CType(DataGV1.Columns(1), DataGridViewComboBoxColumn).ValueMember = "Table2.PRODUCT_CON_ID"

I am trying to select an item in a specific Cell of this Datagrid. So even though I can find the index of the value I cannot find a method to set the new selectedIndex.
I am confused.
