Question

Hi all I have problem with following:

foreach (DataRow dr in data.Tables[0].Rows)
{
    string value = dr["name"].ToString();
    combobox.Items.Add(value);                
}

My values are getting to value variable but not getting into combobox list.
Anything I can do?

You need to add objects with properties of value and displayMember to the ComboBox.
You can create a Struct with those properties and then add instances of the struct to the combobox.

struct NewItem
{
    private string _displayMember;
    private string _value;
    public NewItem(string displayMember, string value)
    {
        _displayMember = displayMember;
        _value = value;
    }
    public string DisplayMember
    {
        get
        {
            return _displayMember;
        }
    }
    public string Value
    {
        get
        {
            return _value;
        }
    }
}

Then add NewItem to the combobox:

foreach (DataRow dr in data.Tables[0].Rows)         
{             
    string value = dr["value"].ToString(); 
    string displayMember= dr["name"].ToString();            
    combobox.Items.Add(new NewItem(displayMember,value));                         
}
