default value of a radcombobox

[tim]

Hi, i am creating an edit childwindow with a radcombobx in it.

now users select certain data from a  hierarchical treeview and the screen pops up .
i am able to fill the combobox with the desired data , however i want to select the parent of the selected item in the combobox
by default.
i've tried like

/*headindustry is the child and industry is the parent */
industry s =headindustry.industry
combobox.selecteditem = s;
combobox.selectedValue =s;

but nothing seems to work anyone got an idea how to fix it

p.s.

i've made my combobox so that it gets the entity and fills the grid , but i've added a datatemplate and within this template is a textblock with a binding on only my description of the entity.
