Kevin,

You're close ... in addition to setting the .SelectedIndex to -1, you also need to set the .SelectedValue. If you've bound your ValueMember to a string, then that's easy, just set the .SelectedValue to "". It's more complicated if it's bound to a numeric column, such as an int ... in those cases we've set the .SelectedValue to a default of 0 ... your choice of default may differ depending on your app.
