Hi
To Do this:
1. In Windows Forms designer go to combobox properties.
2. Find datasource property and expand it
3. Click "Add new Project datasource".
4. In the wizard select Object and then Next.
5. Select Person class in the tree ( if you does not have it try to build project with Person class ).
6. Click finish ( New component will be added to the form named personBindingSource )
7. Find combobox property DisplayMember.
8. Select from the list you property to display ( Name ) or type it.

9. In the Form_Load put:

personBindingSource.DataSource = person; // initialized list of your persons

Thats it.

Try this way

C#

List<Person> person = new List<Person>()
            {
                new Person(){Name="Anna", Birthday=new DateTime(2006, 10, 01), Age=12},
                new Person(){Name="Ben", Birthday=new DateTime(2006, 11, 02), Age=13},
                new Person(){Name="Cora", Birthday=new DateTime(2006, 01, 03), Age=11},
                new Person(){Name="Dan", Birthday=new DateTime(2006, 02, 04), Age=11},
                new Person(){Name="Eve", Birthday=new DateTime(2006, 12, 20), Age=14},
                new Person(){Name="Fe", Birthday=new DateTime(2006, 12, 05), Age=15},
                new Person(){Name="George", Birthday=new DateTime(2006, 12, 06), Age=12},
                new Person(){Name="Helen", Birthday=new DateTime(2006, 12, 30), Age=13},
                new Person(){Name="Ivan", Birthday=new DateTime(2006, 12, 30), Age=15},
            };
            comboBox1.DataSource = person;
            comboBox1.DisplayMember = "Name";

Post this code in your Form Load event.
