Add cmbItems.DataBind(); line after your cmbItems.DataSource = ds; line;

You should have told this in your question that this is windows application.
It's ok. here you are storing your values in DataSet, and binding your dataset to combobox.

so Replace your last line of code with this code :-

C#

cmbItems.DataSource = ds.Tables["Items"];

Good luck.
