hi

No, but "Name" needs to be the name of a column in your table, or you need to change it. What's the code/exact error

How about using the ComboBox.DataSource property

Before I do, can I just say that if you're unable to work out how to do it based on my advice, you would do better to write console apps for a bit, and work through a book so you actually learn C#, instead of just learning to ask for example code here.
Assuming that you have a DataTable called dt, which contains a column called 'Name', and a combobox called c.
c.DataSource = dt;
c.DisplayMember = "Name";
Naturally, your variables should have more descriptive names.

You can request the data from the database, and set the datatable to be the datasource. Then there's a displaymember property you can set to tell the combobox what column to read the data from. There's also a valuemember property, or similar, which sets the value, such as an ID, to associate with each display value.
