Did you try to store your data(which you have retrieve from the DB) into the variables that you have declared ? If yes, then the below code should work.





if you need to populate the combo box, you need to do this:





cmbRating.Items.Add(ratingid);


cmbFormat.Items.Add(formatid);





If No,


then you should create an arraylist to store the values from DB, loop thru it, then populate ur data in.





hope this helps.
