Question

I know it\'s been asked many times and there\'s so many resources about this but believe me i tried those, Unfortunately same thing is always happen. I really don\'t know why my

Answer 1

actually your not using your DataReader but you just add Code, Model and ItemDescription item for each row found with the MySQL query.

cbox_order.Items.Add("Code").ToString();
cbox_order.Items.Add("Model").ToString();
cbox_order.Items.Add("Itemdescription").ToString();

If you want to use the result of the MySQL query you can try this instead:

cbox_order.Items.Add(reader["Code"].ToString()).ToString(); // Change "Code" by the column name into the database
cbox_order.Items.Add(reader["Model"].ToString()).ToString(); // Change "Model" by the column name into the database
cbox_order.Items.Add(reader["Itemdescription"].ToString()).ToString(); // Change "Itemdescription" by the column name into the database

Don't forget to close the reader at the end

reader.Close();

EDIT

if you want the column name instead of data you can use this query, but that's useless if you already know the column name.

SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM information_schema.columns WHERE table_schema='databasename' AND table_name='tablename'
