select the info that you want into a datatable,
set the datatable as the datasource for the dropdown. call the databind function. and make sure you specify in the dropdown control which columns have correspond with the DataValueField and DataTextField

Google is your friend. I'm giving examples, not typing up your whole app for you. You run code at your own risk.

You can add data that is returned from a reader the same way you would programmatically add items to a combobox (combobox1.Items.Add(*Object to add to combobox*);

Here is a sample of code that I did a while ago, this reads all of the Columns on a particular table and adds it to a combobox.

            for (int i = 0; i < dr.FieldCount; i++)
            {
                Fields.Add(dr.GetName(i));
                comboBox1.Items.Add(dr.GetName(i));
 
 
            }
            for (int i = 0; i < dr.FieldCount; i++)
            {
                Fields.Add(dr.GetName(i));
                comboBox1.Items.Add(dr.GetName(i));


            }
