Hi Jim
From code, you can assign the DropList.SelectedIndex property to a number (index of the item), or you can navigate the Items collection and set the Selected property to true for the desired item.
On the designer -if your list contents are fixed- you can assign the descriptions, value and selected attribute of each item thru the [..] button on the Items property.
HTH and bye.
Jose.
