Have you tried anything? Anything at all? Did you try myCombobox.Selectedindex = 3?

this combobox is inside the datagrid so is this work or not?

So, in other words, you have not tried anything and are wasting all of our time.

Mention in your question that your combobox is within the datagrid

Someone asked you 'Have you tried combobox.selectedindex=3?' and you replied 'no'. You wasted your time writing here only,if you did it in your program,you would have solved your issue.

try this :

combobx1.Text = "India"

but if you have a datagridview it's different :
to create it by code :

C#

string[] str = {"Chennai","Bangalore","Trivandrum","India","US"};
 DataGridViewComboBoxColumn cmb = new DataGridViewComboBoxColumn();
                cmb.HeaderText = "Headertext";
                cmb.Name = "name";
                cmb.MaxDropDownItems =str.Count() ;
                foreach (String o in str)
                {
                   cmb.Items.Add(o);
                }
                dataGridView.Columns.Add(cmb);

then to change the text you should use :

C#

for (int i = 0; i < dataGridView.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
             {
                             dataGridView.Rows[i].Cells[where the combobx located].Value = "India";
             }
