How do I Empty a ComboBox after set DataSource

[Kerry Drake]

I am working on a project trying to get my DB and VB.NET skills up to speed. I have established a connection to my database and linked a combobox to the database thusly:

ComboBox1.DataSource = techDataSet.Tables("tblEmployee")
ComboBox1.DisplayMember = "EmployeeName"

However this puts the first record into the "textbox" portion of the ComboBox. I would prefer the ComboBox "textbox" portion to be empty and all the database information be in the dropdown... Any help would be appreciated.

All you need to do is set the SelectedIndex of the ComboBox = -1. That will take care of it.
