use "key" and "value"

like...

System.Collections.Generic.List<KeyValuePair<string, string>> ComBoData = new List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>();
                        ComBoData.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>(xElm.GetAttribute("Title").ToString(), xElm.GetAttribute("ID").ToString()));
                        ddl_List.DataSource = ComBoData;
                        ddl_List.DisplayMember = "value";
                        ddl_List.ValueMember = "key";

Hope this is correct
ddl_List.DisplayMember = "Key";
ddl_List.ValueMember = "Value";
But the result is nothing :(
even in ddl_List.text it has the value

Binuth

small letter (k) and (v)
ddl_List.DisplayMember = "key";
ddl_List.ValueMember = "value";
