title: Set initial combobox selection DevExpress Razor
body: <p>I simply want to have the "Area" value (which is one of the items) be selected when the view appears.  This is what I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Html.DevExpress( ).ComboBox( settings =&gt;
  {
      settings.Name = "cmbFieldLevel";
      settings.CallbackRouteValues = new { Controller = "Equipment", Action = "FieldLevelPartial" };
      settings.Properties.ValueType = typeof( string );
      settings.Properties.TextField = "AreaName";
      settings.Properties.ValueField = "AreaID";
      settings.Properties.EnableClientSideAPI = true;
      settings.ClientSideEvents.DataBound = "function( s, e ){ cmbFieldLevel.SelectedItem = "Area"; } ";
  }).BindList(FieldLevel.GetAreaFilters()).GetHtml()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any clues?</p>
