Hi,

I have in a dropdownlist the following values: "aa", "bb", "cc"
I want the item "bb" will be the selected item. I can find it in a
collection by:

myItem = myControl.Items.FindByText("bb");

To make this item selected I can use:
int index = myControl.Items.IndexOf(myItem).

is there any more simple way how to do it? Something like index =
GetIndex("bb"); i can not find such a method.

Thanks,
Lubomir

Take a look at the listbox' 'FindString' and 'FindStringExact' methods.

Thanks,
those methods are probably added to .NET v1.1 as my IDE (MS VS 2002) doesn't
recognize them, neither they are in a help. I have found them in "online
MSDN" however.
