The weird thing is that as soon as you set the DataSource to null, the .SelectedIndex goes to -1 (which I would expect) ... so how the heck does setting it to 0 before it goes to -1 make it work?

Bonnie,

I'm not real sure either as I am not currently developing in .NET, but I'm glad it works for you too and not just an oddity on my machine. ;)
