[tanmoymoitra]

Hi All,

I have a Problem using Combobox in VB.NET, here is what is actually happening.

I have a Combobox1 , with Dropdownstyle as Dropdown

I have attached a datasource to the Combobox1, and then I have

combobox1.text="--------Select--------"

All this is done in the Form Load.


But I run the Application and the Form is visible the Text which I have given is not visible instead, the First Item in the Combobox is getting Displayed.


I am Unable find any reason or remedy... please help all u .NET experts out there.

You need to set the property "DropDownStyle" to DropDown. If you choose DropDownList then first Item will be selected...
