using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(insertClass.dbPath))
{
    con.Open();
    using (SqlDataAdapter sda = new SqlDataAdapter(
    "SELECT CategoryID, Category FROM Category WHERE Status='Active' ", con))
    {
        //Fill the DataTable with records from Table.
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        sda.Fill(dt);
        //Insert the Default Item to DataTable.
        DataRow row = dt.NewRow();
        row[0] = 0;
        row[1] = "(Selecione)";
        dt.Rows.InsertAt(row, 0);
        //Assign DataTable as DataSource.
        cboProductTypeName.DataSource = dt;
        cboProductTypeName.DisplayMember = "Category";
        cboProductTypeName.ValueMember = "CategoryID";
    }
}             
con.Close();

//set 
comboBox1.DisplayMember = "Value"; 
//to add 
comboBox1.Items.Add(new KeyValuePair("2", "This text is displayed")); 
//to access the 'tag' property 
string tag = ((KeyValuePair< string, string >)comboBox1.SelectedItem).Key; 
MessageBox.Show(tag);

这是我想到的方法之一:

combo1.Items。添加(new ListItem("Text"， "Value"))

要更改一个项目的文本或值，你可以这样做:

combo1.Items[0].Text = 'new Text';

combo1.Items[0].Value = 'new Value';

在Windows窗体中没有名为ListItem的类。它只存在于ASP中。因此，在使用它之前，您需要编写自己的类，就像@Adam Markowitz在他的回答中所做的一样。

如何将项目添加到组合框 如何:从Windows窗体组合框、列表框或checkkedlistbox控件中添加和删除项

using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(insertClass.dbPath))
{
    con.Open();
    using (SqlDataAdapter sda = new SqlDataAdapter(
    "SELECT CategoryID, Category FROM Category WHERE Status='Active' ", con))
    {
        //Fill the DataTable with records from Table.
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        sda.Fill(dt);
        //Insert the Default Item to DataTable.
        DataRow row = dt.NewRow();
        row[0] = 0;
        row[1] = "(Selecione)";
        dt.Rows.InsertAt(row, 0);
        //Assign DataTable as DataSource.
        cboProductTypeName.DataSource = dt;
        cboProductTypeName.DisplayMember = "Category";
        cboProductTypeName.ValueMember = "CategoryID";
    }
}             
con.Close();

这是一个非常简单的解决方案为windows窗体，如果所有需要的是最终值(字符串)。项目的名称将显示在组合框上，选择的值可以很容易地进行比较。

List<string> items = new List<string>();

// populate list with test strings
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
            items.Add(i.ToString());

// set data source
testComboBox.DataSource = items;

并在事件处理程序上获取所选值的值(字符串)

string test = testComboBox.SelectedValue.ToString();

我喜欢fab的答案，但不想为我的情况使用字典，所以我替换了一个元组列表。

// set up your data
public static List<Tuple<string, string>> List = new List<Tuple<string, string>>
{
  new Tuple<string, string>("Item1", "Item2")
}

// bind to the combo box
comboBox.DataSource = new BindingSource(List, null);
comboBox.ValueMember = "Item1";
comboBox.DisplayMember = "Item2";

//Get selected value
string value = ((Tuple<string, string>)queryList.SelectedItem).Item1;
