Instead of using selected index why don't try DataGridViewCell value. Something like this
dataGridView.Rows[0].Cells[dataGridViewColumn.Name].Value = cellvalue;

If you want to work with the selectedIndex like in a comboBox
1. You have to add your Items to the comboBox element

C#

DataGridViewComboBoxColumn1.Items.Add("your Text ");
DataGridViewComboBoxColumn1.Items.Add("your Text1 ");
DataGridViewComboBoxColumn1.Items.Add("your Text2 ");

2. if you want to set the selectedIndex you have to do it like this

C#

int selectedIndex = 1
DataGridView1.Rows[yourrowIndex].cells["YourcomboBox column"].Value = DataGridViewComboBoxColumn1.Items[selectedIndex];

3 if you want to get the selectedIndex do it like this

C#

int selectedIndex = DataGridViewComboBoxColumn1.Items.IndexOf
(DataGridView1.Rows[yourrowIndex].cells["YourcomboBox column"].Value);

sorry for the delay and my englisch but i hope it will be helpfull
