Basically the windows combobox is slightly different from the Webforms's Dropdownlist.
Web dropdown provides a ListItem class to store Text and Value for the dropdown.

Create a new class and name it myListItem and add two properties to it name Text and Value.
Follow the code below to get it working......

Code to populate the combobox.
=======================
comboBox1.Items.Add(new myListItem("1","11"));
comboBox1.Items.Add(new myListItem("2","22"));
comboBox1.Items.Add(new myListItem("3","33"));
comboBox1.Items.Add(new myListItem("4","44"));
comboBox1.Items.Add(new myListItem("5","55"));

comboBox1.DisplayMember = "Text"; //should refer the property defined in the class
comboBox1.ValueMember = "Value"; //should refer the property defined in the class

The Mindset of a Software Pro......

The name is good, the brand is big
But the work I do is that of a pig
The work or the brand, what is my way?
I dont know if I should stay.

To work, they have set their own way
Nobody will care to hear what I say
My will be NULL, they wont change their way
I dont know if I should stay.

The project is in a critical stage
But to do good work, this is the age
This dilemma is killing me day by day
I dont know if I should stay.

The money is good ,the place is great
But the development is at a very small rate
Should I go for the work, orwait for pay
I dont know if I should stay.

The managers dont know what they talk
The team doesnt know where they walk
That's a bad situation, what say?
I dont know if I should stay.

I can go to any other place
But what if I get the same disgrace
I cant keep switching day by day
I dont know if I should stay.

The -ves are more, the +ves are less
Then why have this unnecessary mess
No more will I walk their way,
Its all done, I won't stay.
