    Dear ...,
    My problem is:
    In my database, I have "CLASS" table. This table has 3 column: ClassID, ClassName and ManagerID

    Now, I want to show all ClassIDs that have the same ManagerID on Combobox.

    My code:
    public class Classes
        {
            private int id;
            private string name;
     
            public string Name
            {
                get { return name; }
                set { name = value; }
            }
     
     
            public int ID
            {
                get { return id; }
                set { id = value; }
            }
     
            public override string ToString()
            {
                return id.ToString();
            }
        }
    private void LoadDataTocbClass()
            {
                cbClass.FindItemExact("hello");
                for (int i = 0; i < PrepareDataForcbClass().Count; i++)
                {
                    cbClass.Items.Add(PrepareDataForcbClass()[i]); // ERROR, WHY?
                }
                cbClass.DisplayMember = ("Name");
            }
     
    private List<Classes> PrepareDataForcbClass()
            {
                List<Classes> list = new List<Classes>();
                string sql = "select ClassID FROM [AttendanceDB].[dbo].[CLASS]" +
                                "where ManagerID=@ManagerID";
                SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand();
                myCommand.Connection = myConnection;
                myCommand.CommandText = sql;
                myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ManagerID", ManagerID);
                myConnection.Open();
                SqlDataReader myDataReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader();
                Classes cl;
                while (myDataReader.Read())
                {
                    cl = new Classes();
                    cl.Name = myDataReader.GetString(0).ToString();
                    list.Add(cl);
                }
                myDataReader.Close();
                myConnection.Close();
                return list;
            }

    Can you help me write an example or help me fix my code.
    I want to get all ClassIDs that have the same ManagerID from database to Combobox.
    In my code, cbClass is my combobox.

    Thanks and best regards,
    Pham Son Truong

    Hi truong,

    Thank you for writing.

    The RadComboBox control is obsolete. I would strongly recommend updating to the new and much improved RadDropDonwList. I have prepared a small example which demonstrates how to bind it to a List. I have commented out your code as I do not have the same database as you, but you should be able to uncomment and run the code on your machine.

    I hope this will help you. If you have further questions, feel free to ask.

    Best wishes,

    You can populate the combobox with data from a database in various ways.
    For example you can use a datasource component - as described in this article:
