Hi Robin,

Many thanks for the suggestion.

The SelectedIndex property for a ComboBox in a DataGridView column does
not exist.

Cheers,

Andy

Hi,

I have a simple form with a DataGridView which contains a ComboBox
column. The ComboBox is successfully filled at run time from a
DataTable. The DataTable contains about 6 text values which are
displayed as a drop-down list

//Fill the combobox with the different methods of IP
connection.
this.colConnection_Method.DataSource =
DataTableIPConnectionMethods;
//Display the method names ...
this.colConnection_Method.DisplayMember =
"Method_Name";
// ... but store the selected method's primary key
value.
this.colConnection_Method.ValueMember = "Method_PK";

My question is how can I pre-select one of the ComboBox values?

I'm using VS 2005 C# on Windows XP.

Many thanks in advance,

Andy
