Value based on valuemember or displaymember
posted

we load a Ultracombo from an xml file with all 50 U.S. states.  2 columns, abbreviation and full name.

               _dsLoad.ReadXml(Application.StartupPath + "\\XML\\States.xml");
                cboState.DataSource = _dsLoad.Tables[0];
                cboState.DisplayMember = "Abbr";
                cboState.ValueMember = "State";

because the data is imperfect, sometimes IN will come over and sometimes INDIANA will.

cboState.Value = "INDIANA" will be fine

cboState.Value ="IN" will not.

Is there a way to set the value based on the displaymember value?  I can read the string coming in and decide there if it's abbr or Name, then set the value or dsiplaymembervalue.
