     `i try this in combobox it,s working`

```
    using(Attendance_Management_SystemEntities db=new Attendance_Management_SystemEntities())
            {
                db.Configuration.ProxyCreationEnabled = false;
                comboBoxClass.DataSource = db.Class_Table.ToList();
                comboBoxClass.ValueMember = "Class_ID";
                comboBoxClass.DisplayMember = "Class_Name";
            }
```







`but in private void comboBoxClass_SelectedIndexChanged not find way to do it`

What I have tried:

i try this in 
<pre>private void ucAttendance_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            using(Attendance_Management_SystemEntities db=new Attendance_Management_SystemEntities())
            {
                db.Configuration.ProxyCreationEnabled = false;
                comboBoxClass.DataSource = db.Class_Table.ToList();
                comboBoxClass.ValueMember = "Class_ID";
                comboBoxClass.DisplayMember = "Class_Name";
            }
        }

work fine but in the combobox not work db

private void comboBoxClass_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (Attendance.Attendance.IsMarkAttendance(dTPickerAttend.Text, comboBoxClass.SelectedItem.ToString(), ))
            {
                Attendance.Attendance.DisplayAndSearchAllData("SELECT Student_Table.Student_ID, Student_Name, Student_Reg, Attendance_Status FROM Student_Table INNER JOIN Attendance_Table ON Student_Table.Student_ID = Attendance_Table.Student_ID INNER JOIN Class_Table ON Class_Table.Class_ID = Student_Table.Class_ID WHERE Attendance_Date = '" + dTPickerAttend.Text + "' AND Class_Name = '" + comboBoxClass.SelectedItem.ToString() + "';", dataGridViewMarkAttendance, sql);
                //okay = true;
            }
            else
            {
                Attendance.Attendance.DisplayAndSearchAllData("SELECT Student_ID, Student_Name, Student_Reg FROM Student_Table INNER JOIN Class_Table ON Class_Table.Class_ID = Student_Table.Class_ID WHERE Class_Name = '" + comboBoxClass.SelectedItem.ToString() + "';", dataGridViewMarkAttendance, sql);
                //okay = false;
            }
        }

C#
private string sql = @"Data Source = .\SQLEXPRESS;
Initial Catalog = Attendance_Management_System;
Integrated Security = True;";
Never do that: it's called "hardcoding" and it means that you have to change your app source between dev and production - which means you release untested code.

Instead always use a configuration file to store such things: then when you release code, the config file is unchanged and should "just work". You can use the .NET Settings file, use JSON, or XML, or hand code your own - but the way I do is shown here: Instance Storage - A Simple Way to Share Configuration Data among Applications[^] - it's probably a bit overkill for your app, but it shows a way to manage it.
