I am using a combo box on a form when I want the end user to edit a
profile. The combo box is populated using the data provider property
where it loads the contents of an XML file.

Does anyone know how I can set the "value" of the combo box? I have a
class that stores values such as "company", "department", etc. The
department combo box has all the options listed and I need it to
intially have selected the current value. I set the "text" property
but when the form loads the first item in the combo box is selected
rather than my value.

I realize that I could set the selectedIndex property but how would I
know which index is the one for the value I need?

Any suggestions would be helpful.
