Newbie combo question

Hi - I've loaded the values into a combo box at runtime, but can't see how I
set the combo to a certain value when the page loads. (The value will change
depending on other variables when the page loads.)
Thanks
NickArrest me if I'm wrong, but from what I know there is no ComboBox available
in ASP.NET
Are you using a Custom Control?

I mean this one:
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList

If you are using .NET Framework 1.1 then you can use:
myDropDownList.SelectedValue
In .NET Framework 1.0 you can use SelectedIndex and then do a search for
your value, like this:
myDropDownList.SelectedIndex =
myDropDownList.Items.IndexOf(myDropDownList.Items.FindByValue(myValue))
or
myDropDownList.SelectedIndex =
myDropDownList.Items.IndexOf(myDropDownList.Items.FindByText(myText))
Hope this helps,
