There is no attachment option here.

It's a full package of code in zip file.

I am pasting relevant code here.

sing System;

namespace WindowsApplication1
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for ComboData.
/// </summary>
public class ComboData
{
private string strValue = "";
private string strDisplayValue = "";

public ComboData()
{

}

public string Value
{
get{return(strValue); }
set{strValue = value; }
}

public string DisplayValue
{
get{ return(strDisplayValue); }
set{ strDisplayValue = value; }
}
}
}

}
