Brad,
If the combo box contains strings, you can set the SelectedItem property to
one of the strings to select it.
Or you can set the SelectedIndex property to the zero-based index of the
item to be selected.
Keep in mind that selecting a default value will have the side effect of
causing the SelectedIndexChanged event to fire.

In my vb.net 2005 project I have a few combo boxes where I want to set a
default value. I am not binding these combo boxes - I am loading the
values directly in code from a dataset.
Obviously the default I am settign will be one of the values from teh drop
down list..
How do you set a default value for a combo box??
Thanks, Brad
