I have a combobox on a WinForm.

I can assign an entire array to the Items collection and have it display in
the drop down list.

But how to I make a particular item the selected item (i.e., the one that is
displayed in the combobox on Form.Load)?

I can hard code a value with
comboBox1.Text="X";

But I want to do somthing like:
comboBox1.SelectedItem=1;

Where 1 is the position in the array of the selected item.

With Me.ListBox1
.Items.AddRange(New String() {"Item1", "Item2", "Item3"})
.SelectedIndex = 2
End With

or in C# :) :

listBox1.Items.AddRange (new string [] {"Item1", "Item2", "Item3"});
listBox1.SelectedIndex = 2;
