It helps if you post the error message, but to add items to a combobox the syntax is

ComboBox1.Items.Add(string value)

in your case

ComboBox1.Items.Add(myReader("Uname"))

I did not use yet the Items.Add systax. Instead, I use this:

ComboBox1.Text = myReader.GetValue(myReader.GetOrdinal("Uname"))

just for comparizon.

ComboBox1.Text is the text from the currently selected item.
