Microsoft .Net And MySQL

Assuming you have the Mysqlconnector installed.

Look for Mysql.data.msi on google, if you haven't

connection = new MySqlConnection("server=myserver; user id = myuser; password = mypassword; datanase = mydatabase")

MySqlCommand command = connection.CreateCommand();
command.commandtext = "Select Key,Value from mytable";
MySqlDataReader reader = command.Execute();
MyComboxBox.Items.Clear();
While (reader.read())
{
comoboval = new comboval(reader[key],reader[value]);
mycombo.items.add(comboval);
}

If you are only interested in the text you could forget the comboval class and just do
, mycombo.items.add(reader[value]);

If you aren't creating an inflatable dartboard.

They bash up the class and override the ToString() method return value.

PS that msi file comes with a nice swadge of examples.

PPS, this was off teh top of my head, so expect one or two syntax errors, probably Add instead of add for starters.
