You just need to have a class that you want to use for selection, call it a Product class. Let this Product class have 4 Properties, ProductID, Description, Price and StockLevel. The first thing to do is gather a group of these into a List<Product> call this ProductList. Then in your form you insert a ComboBox, set it's DataSource property to ProductList, then you set it's DisplayMember property to Description, and it's ValueMember property to ProductID. This will populate the ComboBox with the List, and allow the user to select an individual product, which will be accessible through the Combo's SelectedItem property.

Hope this helps
