Jassimi,
That doesn't remove it from the table, simply selects only distinct values. It has no effect on what is stored there, just the values that are bound to the dropdown.

can you tell me how to that exactly,
because I connect this combobox through properties, I just chose the datasource and displaymember,
can I select the distinct values from properties,
tell me step by step

Easiest to remove the duplicates in the retrieval process from the database.
Using something like "Select Distinct MyField From MyTable" to eliminate duplicates before binding to the dropdown.
