Initial Item in Data bound Combobox is not selected. Even though the Bound Object has a Value

I have a class which is creating a Combobox with a Databinding to an Object.
The Object has a Value for an enum. But when the ComboBox is loaded it doesnt Contain a Value. The Following is the part where i´m creating the ComboBox.
ComboBox combBox = new ComboBox();
combBox.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList;
combBox.BackColor = Color.White;
combBox.DisplayMember = "Anzeige";
combBox.ValueMember = "Value";
var values = Enum.GetValues(EnumType);
foreach(int value in values)
{
ComboBoxItemClass comboBoxItemClass = new ComboBoxItemClass() { Value = value, Anzeige = Enum.GetName(EnumType, value) };
combBox.Items.Add(comboBoxItemClass);
}
combBox.DataBindings.Add(nameof(combBox.SelectedValue), NAFDetailView.CurrentObject, PropertyName, true);

combBox.SelectedText = "Anzeige";
i am using this code for displaying text on load.

I solved the Problem by getting rid of the ComboBoxItemClass, and assigning the DataSource of the ComboBox, after that i used the SelectedItem Property for the DataBinding as follows.
ComboBox combBox = new ComboBox();
combBox.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList;
combBox.DataSource = Enum.GetValues(EnumType);
combBox.DataBindings.Add(nameof(combBox.SelectedItem), NAFDetailView.CurrentObject, PropertyName, true);

Retrieve a ListViewItem's value

I have a ListView populated with the code below. Ask you can see, I set both the DisplayMember and the ValueMember. What I am wanting to do is find a ListViewItem by its ValueMember. So essentially what I'm looking for is ListViewItem.Value. I know I can get SelectedValue for the ListView itself, but I just don't see any properties on the ListViewItem that give me what I'm looking for. Am I just missing something, or is there no way to do this?
private void PopulateList(Globals.DataFieldMappingTypes mappingType)
{
ListBox lst = GetListBox(mappingType);
ComboBox cbo = cboh.GetComboBox(new ComboBoxHandler.CboInfo(Globals.NodeTypes.DataField, mappingType));
string sql = "select DataFieldReferenceValueId, [Value] from DataFieldReferenceValueInfo where DataFieldId = " + cbo.SelectedValue.ToString();
DataTable tbl = dal.GetTable(sql, "DataFieldReferenceValue");
lst.DisplayMember = "Value";
lst.ValueMember = "DataFieldReferenceValueId";
lst.DataSource = tbl.DefaultView;
}

I think that you are not getting the values from DataTable correctly I guess.
I hope tbl.Rows[0][0].ToString() will have the DataFieldReferenceValueId and
tbl.Rows[0][1].ToString() will have the [Value]
Please check the below MSDN link
https://forums.asp.net/t/1188002.aspx?how+to+read+DataTable+Rows+value+and+put+it+into+the+string+

Instead of loading your dataTable straight in as the dataSource why don't you create a class to define the values?
public class SqlTable
{
public string Name {get;set;}
public string Value {get;set;}
}
var listPair = new List<SqlTable>();
Then load the list with your SqlDataReader and grab your desired pair with LINQ.
while (sdr.Read())
{
listPair.Add(new SqlTable() { Name = sdr[0].ToString(), Value = sdr[1].ToString() });
}
lst.DisplayMember = "Name";
lst.ValueMember = "Value";
lst.DataSoure = listPair;
SqlTable sqlTable = listPair.Find(x => x.Name == "Whatever name you are searching for") as SqlTable;
The SqlTable item is now the one you are searching for and you can get its properties by going:
string value = sqlTable.Value;
string name = sqlTable.Name;
Edit from comment begins here:
Well your first issue is that the 'lst' item in your example is a ListBox and not a ListView. It you switch it to a listview you can still feed your List of listPair items like so:
ListView lst = new ListView();
lst.View = View.Details;
foreach (var data in listPair)
{
lst.Items.Add(new ListViewItem(listPair.Name, listPair.Value);
}
So now you have a ListView that is a collection of your listPairs where each listPair is a ListViewItem. I assume you want to isolate the ListViewItem based on your value (or listPair.Value or sdr[1] or [Value] they are all the same now) in order to color it. You can now grab the listPair item like so:
SqlTable pair = listPair.Find(x => x.Value == "Whatever the Value value is that you want to color");
ListViewItem searchedItem = lst.FindItemWithText(pair.Name);
searchedItem.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red; //or whatever color you choose
You can now use searchedItem to grab its index in the ListView and all its other properties. The ListPair just allows you to associate the values.

Selecting item in databound combobox

I believe this question is kinda new-bie, but I can't solve it in correct way.
Brief description:
I have an inherited from ComboBox class that does some data bindings in constructor:
var mdl = new Model();
ValueMember = "id";
DisplayMember = "unit";
DataSource = mdl.getUnits();
All good here. The combobox is filled by required data.
Then I have another form with a function editIngridient. The function is following;
public bool editIngridient(int id)
{
currentId = id;
var row = mdl.getIngridient(id);
txtIngridient.Text = (string)row["ingridient"];
cmbUnit.ID = (int)row["unitId"];
numNotifyQty.Value = (int) row["notifyQty"];
ShowDialog();
return true;
}
Now, when the form popups, textbox and number box filled by needed values, while combobox is filled by first value.
If I will run the combobox data bind function as the first line inside editIngridient function - all works good.
Please point me to my stupidity.
Thanks a lot!

YOu didnt say what is your dataSource, but I assume thats DataTable, so you can do it:
DataRowView rowData = comboBox1.SelectedItem as DataRowView;
int id = Convert.ToInt32(rowData["id"]);
string name = rowData["unit"].ToString();

Is it possible to set the selectedIndex of a combobox based on its value

Is it possible to set the selectedIndex of a combobox based on its value, without having to iterate through the datasource?
I set the datasource like this:
caseDBTableAdapters.usersTableAdapter usersAdapter = new caseDBTableAdapters.usersTableAdapter();
caseDB.usersDataTable users;
users = usersAdapter.GetUsers();
cbOwner.DisplayMember = "fullName";
cbOwner.ValueMember = "userId";
cbOwner.DataSource = users;
It seems less elegant to have to iterate through the table fx. by doing:
int counter = 0;
foreach (caseDB.usersRow usersRow in users)
{
if (usersRow.userId == selectedUser)
{
cbOwner.SelectedIndex = counter;
}
counter++;
}

Try assing
comboBox.SelectedValue = "value";
or
comboBox.SelectedItem = item;
After question edit:
Set SelectedValue to selectedUser:
cbOwner.SelectedValue = selectedUser;

When you use the DisplayMember and ValueMember properties, set SelectedValue.
Otherwise, set SelectedItem.

How to get value from datagridview combobox?

How to get value from datagridview combobox after selected value is changed?

You can use:
var value = DataGridView.Rows[0].Cells[0].Value
NOTE: You would supply the correct row and cell number.
Or you can do something like this if it is bound to an object like ListItem
string value = DataGridView.Rows[RowIndex].Cells[ColumnIndex].Value.ToString();
if DataGridView.Rows[RowIndex].Cells[ColumnIndex] is DataGridViewComboBoxCell && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
{
List<ListItem> items = ((DataGridViewComboBoxCellDataGridView.Rows[RowIndex].Cells[e.ColumnIndex]).Items.Cast<ListItem>().ToList();
ListItem item = items.Find(i => i.Value.Equals(value));
}

Do not pass to give column name
string SelectedText = Convert.ToString((Pass_dataGridView.Rows[0].Cells["Partner"] as DataGridViewComboBoxCell).FormattedValue.ToString());
