Selecting value from ComboBox after binding

[alexp]

In my code (using Coolite 0.8.2) I do something like:

            this.ReferenceStore.DataSource = data;
            this.ReferenceStore.DataBind();
            this.cbReference.Select(myValue, true);

but I get a javascript error: "this.view is null or not an object"

I would like to make this work but also to ask if this is the best way to set the value of the combo after binding data in an ajax event
