Use selected text instead of selectedIndex

Question

I have a dataset connected to a bindinglist that is connected to a combobox in win32.

I would like to make "Computer" to be selected as a displaymember in the combobox when I have a private string with value "Computer".

The main issue is that it doesn't work to use SelectedText in the combobox to make "Computer" to be selected but it works properly when I use selectedIndex. But, in order to use selectedIndex, you have to know the row number from table in order to make the text to be selected.

Answer 1

(Not sure because of tags, I am assuming you are using WinForms for your application).

Try the following:

combobox.SelectedValue = "Computer";
