check what values are there in combobox2, if combobox2 has a item with value dt1.Rows[6]["Value"].ToString(); then you will get it , or else u can also add items to combobox at runtime, like combobox2.items.add("")

Try to call your combobox DataBind() method after inserting data to it. some thing like this...
cbf.DataBind()

Solution 1

ComboBox[^] class has got several properties[^], for example:
DataSource[^]
DisplayMember[^]
ValueMember[^]
You can use them to bind data ;)

C#

comboBox2.DataSource=dt1
comboBox2.DisplayMember = "Field1";
comboBox2.ValueMember = "Field2";
