I don't get it !

[nikverse]

for eg.. the user register with us... saying that he earn 1k per month... then later when he wan to update his profile, i can't expect him to choose the option in the dropdownlist ...
so i wan the dropdown list to show the item 1k as default...

This will set the selectedindex property to first item . Put it in load_form event of the form :

ComboBox1.SelectedIndex = 0
