You could also use a NameObjectCollectionBase to hold the values, or a one-dimensional array of a custom objects to hold the display and value data:

Public Class myPair
Public Display as String
Public Value as Integer
End Class

Dim mySource(10) as myPair

' oops, forgot to instance the class
mySource(0) = New myPair
mySource(0).Display = 'One'
mySource(0).Value = 1
. . . . . .

cboMyBox.DataSource = mySource
cboMyBox.DisplayMember = "Display"
cboMyBox.ValueMember = "Value"

>>What I want to do is manually add items to a combobox, where the SelectedItem is One, Two, Three, Four and the SelectedValue is 1,2,3,4. I am having problems figuring this one out...
