ASPxComboBox - How to set selected item?

asp.net, devexpress

Solution

Client-Side Script

Give ClientInstanceName property to comboBoxto access it client side and ID property as cbxJobType to access control server side.

 // by text
    comboBox.SetText('Text #2');
    // by value
    comboBox.SetValue('Value #2');
    // by index
    comboBox.SetSelectedIndex(1); 

Server-Side Code

// by text
cbxJobType.Text = "Text #2";
// by value
cbxJobType.Value = "Value #2";
// by index
cbxJobType.SelectedIndex = 1; 

This code works fine too:

cbxJobType.SelectedItem = cbxJobType.Items.FindByValue("Value #2");

Problem

I'm using : ASPxComboBox The problem is how to set selectedValue from code behind? If my html is like this: ``` <dxe:ASPxComboBox ID="cbxJobType" runat="server" width="200px" MaxLength="50"> <Items> <dxe:ListEditItem Text="Contract" Value="0" /> <dxe:ListEditItem Text="Full Time" Value="1" /> <dxe:ListEditItem Text="Part Time" Value="2" /> </Items> <ValidationSettings ErrorDisplayMode="ImageWithTooltip"> <RequiredField ErrorText="Required Value" IsRequired="True" /> </ValidationSettings> </dxe:ASPxComboBox> ```
