You can use the SelectedIndexChanged Event of the combobox. In the event u can write: Int CustCode = ComboBox1.Text.IndexOf(' '); TextBox1.Text = ComboBox1.Text.Substring(0 CustCode); TextBox2.Text = ComboBox1.Text.Substring(CustCode);

Thanks Dear.. Could you please let me know how to apply LostFocus() method here....? In the above mentioned combo box there two fields that is cust_code and cust_name. Once you select these two fields from the combo box cust_code and cust_name should display in the two text boxes. Thanks

U can do this by returning two field as a single field. write the query like this string query = SELECT Name + ' ' + City as display FROM Table; and set the display member of combo box like that comboBox1.DisplayMember = display;
