Hello all
i am developing a window application using vs2008

at this moment i want to re-fire selected index event of a combo box upon hitting a button.

the combo box belongs to dropdownlist type.

what is appropriate way to do this ?

thanks

The easiest way is to simply refactor your code so the OnSelectedIndexChanged event calls a method, and then call the method in the Button OnClick event as well.

Alternatively you can call an event method exactly like any other method:

hmmm thanks for your reply but this is not what i was looking for.

in fact, upon hitting a button i want to reload combo box as it was on form load & as i had said earlier this belongs to drop down list (not drop down) so i couldn't apply combo1.text="";

i want to set combo to its default selected item (that is blue bar).

i am sorry if i gave wrong information earlier :(

Well a DropDownList must always have an item selected, so you just need to set the SelectedIndex to whichever item is the 'default' - e.g. the first one:

DropdownList1.SelectedIndex = 0;
