How to Set default combobox

Question

So I\'ve been looking to set a default value for my combobox. I found a few things but none of them seem to work.

Actually, it works if I create a simple combobox and us

Answer 1

cbxCategory.SelectedIndex should be set to an integer from 0 to Items.Count-1 like

cbxCategory.SelectedIndex  = 2;

your

 cbxCategory.SelectedIndex = cbxCategory.Items.IndexOf("New") 

should return -1 as long as no ComboboxItem mutches the string ("New");

another solution though i don't like it much would be

foreach(object obj in cbxCategory.Items){ 
    String[2] objArray = (String[])obj ;
    if(objArray[1] == "New"){
       cbxCategory.SelectedItem = obj;
       break; 
    }
}

perhaps this also requires the following transformation to your code

    foreach (string[] result in list)
    {
      cbxCategory.Items.Add(result);
    }

I haven't tested the code and i am not sure about the casting to String[2] but something similar should work
