thanks for your suggestion.
actually i can able to bind the value to combobox .when i select the value
from that combobox the selected value will not be displayed when i move to
the next cell.here is my code

public ComboBox combobox2 = new ComboBox();
private void hmloadingpage1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

combobox2.Hide();
dataGridView1.Controls.Add(combobox2);

}

private void dataGridView1_CellDoubleClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
this.combobox2.Location = this.dataGridView1.GetCellDisplayRectangle(e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex, true).Location;
this.combobox2.SelectedValue = this.dataGridView1.CurrentCell.Value;
this.combobox2.Show();
dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[2].Value = this.combobox2.Text.ToString();

}

From the code it seems that you are using the ComboBox control. But for displaying the ComboBox within the DataGridView, DataGridViewComboBoxColumn control is to be used as given in the example at the link shown in Solution 1. Further after setting the DisplayMember and ValueMember properties of DataGridViewComboBoxColumn the values will be automatically set. The values need not be set manually.

The DisplayMember and ValueMember properties of the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn are to be set appropriately like

C#

comboboxColumn.DataSource = RetrieveAlternativeTitles();
comboboxColumn.ValueMember = ColumnName.TitleOfCourtesy.ToString();
comboboxColumn.DisplayMember = comboboxColumn.ValueMember;
