Answer 1

You may use

if (ComboBox1.Items.Count>0) { ComboBox1.SelectedIndex=0 }

Answer 2

if combobox has only one item, then you can use below code

comboBox1.SelectedIndex =0;

if combobox has multiple item, and you need to select a particular item... change only the index, index will start with 0, if you need to show second item, then the index will be 1

comboBox1.SelectedIndex =1;

This is quite easy:

comboBox1.SelectedIndex = 0; //This will select the first item in the combobox (zero based numbering)

To set it right after the form is shown simply put it after

InitializeComponent();

of the appropriate form.
