hi, which technology are you using as a data access? ok are you assigning direct data source to List box or adding one by one row? if you has array list or List of string than you can assign it as a datasource. ArrayList s = GetListData(); listBox1.Items.Clear(); listBox1.DataSource = s; if your data source is other than arrayList or List of string than you can use DisplayMember property of List Box DataTable s = GetListData(); listBox1.Items.Clear(); listBox1.DataSource = s; listBox1.DisplayMember = "Name"; hope this will help you.

You need to use a foreach to loop through whats coming back from the SQL and add to your listbox. As an example (using entity framework) YourEntities myentities = new YourEntities (); ObjectResult Result = myentities.FunctionFromEF(//passed parameters for combo box population); foreach (var item in Result) { ListBOx1.Items.Add(new ListItem(item.item1.ToString(), item.itemID.ToString())); }
