Hi you can use the SelectedIndex Property of listbox for eg.

listbox1.selectedindex = 0

Using of the selected indix is the best way - listbox1.selectedindex = 0 (since it is a 0 based collection)

As far as I know the first item is always selected if no other item is assigned to be. If you want to reset it back to the first item to be selected, a better approach in my opinion is:

listbox1.ClearSelection()
