Answer 1

Hei i hope this could help you

      public enum AccountType
      {
         Savings,
         Cheking
      }

Write the following code in your Form1.cs file I am assuming your Form name is Form1

    public Form1 ()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        BindComboList();
    }

    private void BindComboList()
    {
        var values = Enum.GetValues(typeof(AccountType));
        foreach (var item in values)
        {
            cmbAccountType.Items.Add(item);
        }
    }

You are done.

Try this;

cbaccountType.DataSource=Enum.GetValues(typeof(accountType));

where cbaccountType is you ComboBox.
