I have a table named Orders2 and I want to bind the Column names to a combobox. Is the sample code above the correct way of binding data to a combobox?

That could be the right way but I haven't used the same anytime.

You could also try to bind it using this alternate way.

cboField1.DataSource = Orders2 ;
cboField1.DisplayMember = //Name of fields to be displayed.<br>
cboField1.ValueMember = //Name of field to be kept as value.</br>

A helper method for binding data might be an idea here

C#

public static void BindField(ListControl control, object dataSource,
                         string displayMember, string valueMember )
{
    control.DataTextField       = displayMember;
    control.DataValueField      = valueMember;
    control.DataSource          = dataSource;
    control.DataBind();
}

You can then use as follows

C#

BindField(YourComboBoxControl, YourDataSource, "FieldNameYouWantToDisplayInComboBox", "IdYouWantToStoreInComboBox");
