Solution 2

Get the result from database

C#

//clsUser is my own defined class with the UserSelect method
clsUser objUsers = new clsUser();
DataTable dtUser = objUsers.UserSelect("Select * from Users");

//take a combobox in front end or in codebehind
ComboBox cmb = new ComboBox();
cmb.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList;
//set the datasource 
cmb.DataSource = dtUser.Copy();

Try this,

C#

DropDownList1.DataSource = dt;
       DropDownList1.DataTextField = "Name";
       DropDownList1.DataValueField = "ID";
       DropDownList1.DataBind();
