please note that datatable, productid and productname are only represnetations and they need to be meanigful code in your part.

ComboBox.DataSource = datatable 
ComboBox.DataValueField = productid 
ComboBox.DataTextField = productname

See ComboBox Documentation http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.combobox.aspx[^]
