Filling Combobox 1

[WelshyWizard]

Hi all,

I have a combobox on a form that the user must make a selection from. It must not be left blank.

I fill the combobox list with the following code and also blank the text.

SqlDataAdapter4.Fill(DsCat11)
ComboBox2.DataSource = DsCat11.Category1
ComboBox2.DisplayMember = "Cat1"
ComboBox2.Text = ""

When the user hits the save button, I check if the ComboBox2.Text = "". If it does the user is notified that they must fill in the combobox. However, this is not working and when I actually check the ComoboBox2.text value it is taking the 1st value in the list.

What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to go about this?

Cheers.

Try this:

Instead of

ComboBox2.Text = ""

use

ComboBox2.SelectedIndex = -1
