I think this is pretty much the same question together with a solution posted: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2023316/c-sharp-winforms-combobox-with-label-and-value[^]

cbo is your ComboBox, myData contains the values:

var data = myData.Select(oneData => new {
     Value = oneData.Value, Text = oneData.Name}).ToList();
cbo.ValueMember = "Value";
cbo.DisplayMember = "Text";
cbo.DataSource = data;

ComboBox[^] has many properties to achieve that:
- SelectedIndex[^]
- SelectedItem[^]
- SelectedText[^]
