Solution 1

Try:

MySqlDataAdapter da = new MySqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM myTable", connection);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
da.Fill(dt);
cb.DataSource = dt;

The 'cb' he mentioned was the instance of the combobox..and doing the above as he says will solve your problems..

Solution 2

Use ADO.NET to interact with database.

1. Get data from database in a datatable or a dataset
2. use that datatable/database as a datasource of Combobox
3. define the datatext/datavalue field of combobox.

Solution 4

you should(can) select a field to display and a field to return value;
for example:

MIDL

cb.DisplayMember="Name";
cb.ValueMember="ID";
