You use the the method ComboBox.Items.IndexOf. The issue you will run into is how the objects in the collection compare themselves. If you do not override the Equals method on your custom objects, the default operation will simply compare references and not the values of the object properties.

ComboBox.ObjectCollection.IndexOf[^]
