How to prevent Combobox to select first item on databinding to DataSource.

I also have a datagridview table - where when the user selects a row on of the cells goes into the combobox - but I want it to override what ever is in the combobox with item from the table.

I have 

PD.ItemCBx.Text = this.cOrdersDGV.CurrentRow.Cells[2].Value.ToString();

from form1 which fills the combobox. But when form 2 is opened the combobox is filled with the first item on the databinding to DataSource.

I've tried 

ItemCBx.SelectedIndex = -1;

but this stops the data being transfered.

"The way you "deselect" an item in a drop-down ComboBox is by selecting a different item."

"There is no "deselect" option for a ComboBox—something always has to be selected."

"If you want to simulate the behavior where nothing is selected, you'll need to add a item (or equivalent) to the ComboBox."

"The user can then select this option when they want to "deselect"."
