Hi,
The combo box is populated but it seems that the selected index does not work,
because the combo box does not show "<-- Select a Status -->" in display.
Do you know why please?
Thanks

C#

private void PopulateTaskStatus()
        {
            DataTable dtTaskStatus = TaskStatusGet();

            DataRow newRow = dtTaskStatus.NewRow();

            dtTaskStatus.Columns["Status"].MaxLength = 50;
            newRow["Status"] = "<-- Select a Status -->";

            dtTaskStatus.Rows.InsertAt(newRow, 0);

            cboStatus.DataSource = null;

            cboStatus.Items.Clear();
            cboStatus.DisplayMember = "Status";
            cboStatus.DataSource = dtTaskStatus;

            cboStatus.SelectedIndex = 0;
        }

can you see others elements in your combobox ? also are you seeing the <-- Select a Status --> as a last option in the combo box?

Hello,

you can try this find by text and find by value

cboStatus.Items.FindByText("Status").Selected = true; OR
cboStatus.Items.FindByValue("Status").Selected = true;

Can you see what I am doing wrong in my sample code?
This works fine for other forms I use it in.
Thanks
