Can somebody please tell me how to get data from a database to show up in the combobox dropdown in code?

Thanks

Create a DataView instance and populate it with data retreived from the database, then proceed:

ComboBox.DataSource = DataView

You should actually be able to reference the source against your, presumably, already existing, populated DataSet.
