    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            loadCountry();
        }


        public void loadCountry()
        {
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();

            try
            {
                using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data Source = testdb;Initial Catalog = ABC;Uid = sa;Password = PassWord123;"))
                {
                    using (SqlDataAdapter adp = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM country", con))
                    {
                        adp.Fill(dt);
                       
                        comboBox1.DisplayMember = "Country"; 
                        comboBox1.ValueMember = "Id";  
                        comboBox1.DataSource = dt;
                        

                    }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw ex;
            }
        }
