How to loop through a combox values list and select one of them

Question

How do I cycle through a ComboBox Values list so I can check each value and select one of them efficiently?

Examples in C# or VB.Net welcome.

Solution 1

To cycle through combobox values, you can use the Items property. If combobox values are strings, the VB code would look like this:

For each item As String in myComboBox.Items
  'Do something
Next

To select a value, you can use the SelectedItem property:

myComboBox.SelectedItem = "SomeValueInComboBox"

Solution 2

foreach (var item in comboBox1.Items)
    Console.WriteLine(item.ToString());

Make sure to break out of the loop once you have selected the value that you want. (no point looping through data you don't need)
