Toolstrips basically have a wrapper for combo boxes. In fact, they inherit from a System.Windows.Forms.Combobox class. To populate a toolstrip combo using data you will have to manually set the data source property as well as the ValueMember and DisplayMemeber. To access the wrapped combo box it will look something like this. Me.ToolStripComboBox1.ComboBox.DataSource = MyBO.CurrentDataTable
Me.ToolStripComboBox1.ComboBox.ValueMember = "ValueFieldName"
Me.ToolStripComboBox1.ComboBox.DisplayMember = "DisplayFieldName"
Use this code whenever you need to populate the toolstrip combo box.
