Reply to Databinding in Visual Studio
If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
Before I go and sign up in some other forum to ask my silly questions, I wonder if there are any .NET programmers lurking around here that can help me? 
Does anyone know how I can set a default value on a databound combobox? For example, I've bound a combobox to a database with a list of book authors and want the box to say "Select author..." when the form is first loaded.
The closest I can get is to do
and get a blank entry as default. Can't manage to get any text in there though.
