    Question Combobox Woes

    Hey All,

    I have added at combobox Dropdownlist and added the list of values that i wanted to it about 13 in all {300, 600,1200,1800 ...} . The problem i am having is that when the code runs the initial value in the combobox is blank i would like 300 in this case to be the initial value.

    Any idea on how to do that ? I know this seems to be a basic question but i cant find the answer high up or low down.

    Code:
    // Braud_comboBox1
                // 
                this.Braud_comboBox1.DisplayMember = "1";
                this.Braud_comboBox1.DropDownStyle = System.Windows.Forms.ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList;
                this.Braud_comboBox1.FormattingEnabled = true;
                this.Braud_comboBox1.Items.AddRange(new object[] {
                "300",
                "600",
                "1200",
                "1800",
                "2400",
                "3600",
                "4800",
                "7200",
                "9600",
                "19200",
                "28800",
                "38400",
                "57600",
                "115200"});
                this.Braud_comboBox1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(106, 53);
                this.Braud_comboBox1.Name = "Braud_comboBox1";
                this.Braud_comboBox1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(155, 21);
                this.Braud_comboBox1.TabIndex = 1;
                //

    My hat of guessing wonders what DisplayMember = "1" means in this case -- nothing I've found about DisplayMember seems to match this usage. My suggestion is to take it out (it appears to be optional) and see what happens.

    After adding the items, call Braud_comboBox1.SelectedIndex = 0;
