Is it possible to set the selectedIndex of a combobox based on its value, without having to iterate through the datasource?
I set the datasource like this:
caseDBTableAdapters.usersTableAdapter usersAdapter = new caseDBTableAdapters.usersTableAdapter();
caseDB.usersDataTable users;
users = usersAdapter.GetUsers();
cbOwner.DisplayMember = "fullName";
cbOwner.ValueMember = "userId";
cbOwner.DataSource = users;
It seems less elegant to have to iterate through the table fx. by doing:
int counter = 0;
foreach (caseDB.usersRow usersRow in users)
{
if (usersRow.userId == selectedUser)
{
cbOwner.SelectedIndex = counter;
}
counter++;
}
Try assing
comboBox.SelectedValue = "value";
or
comboBox.SelectedItem = item;
After question edit:
Set SelectedValue to selectedUser:
cbOwner.SelectedValue = selectedUser;
