>That should work. It sounds like a timing issue - are you attempting to set the SelectedIndex before the items have been added? Or is iItem larger than the # of items in the collection (ex. you try to set SelectedIndex to 5 but the highest you can actually set it to is 4 because C# uses 0 based arrays?)
That's exactly the problem - Items.Count is zero. The combo is loaded in the form's Load. The SelectedIndex is being set in a Setup method called later.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind

In addition, an integer field is not for irrational people
