Bind data to combobox

Question

In this Load function have some hotel names,I wanted to bind that hotel names to Combo box. I go several steps but i'm having a problem in bind values to combo box from here.

private void myWindow_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string new1 = f.Name; //hotel names comes here(eg:hilton,serandib)

    List<string> Hotels = new1 List<string>();
    Hotels.Add(new1);
    foreach (string Hotel in Hotels)
    {

    }
 }

Actually i want this hotel names show in combo box.(This is a windows form),Help me with the rest.

What is the error ? i think new is reserved keyword and you can not use it as a variable name! — saeed, Feb 13 '13 at 05:44

You can make use of following code,

ComboBox1.DataSource = hotelList;

if you have following string coming from f.Name

"Le meridian, Fortune, Asiana"

    List<String> hotelList = f.Name.Split(',').ToList();

    ComboBox1.DataSource = hotelList;

List<Hotels> Hname = new List<Hotels> { "Taj", " Star", "Poorna" ,"Settinad" };
comboBox.DataSource =  Hname;

or

List<Hotels> Hotel = new List<Hotels>();
Hotel.Add( "name");

comboBox.DataSource = Hotel;

        List<string> names = new List<string>();
        names.Add("name1");
        names.Add("name2");
        names.Add("name3");
        names.Add("name4");
        names.Add("name5");
        comboBox1.Items.Clear();
        foreach (string name in names)
        {
            comboBox1.Items.Add(name);
        }
        comboBox1.SelectedIndex = 0; //selects first item

You're about to add a items to ComboBox but actually you don't need use the List<string> to list the items to ComboBox, you can go it directly in .Items of ComboBox

 string new1 = f.Name; //hotel names comes here(eg:hilton,serandib)
 comboBox5.Items.Add(new1);
