Hello

are you using VisualStudio or any other editor ,

in visual studio ,you will automatically find the Combo Box control by default.

if you are unable to find you can it easily

Just right click in any of the Tabs of the ToolBox and click Choose Items menu from the popup you get,then you will redirect to a dialog where you will find .net components from there you can select required controls (your case combox control) and click ok thats all

Hello

If that is the case it may be the problem with your .Net software, better try installing .Net framework again.

I don't think that's the problem. You can't get a combobox in your toolbox for ASP.NET. It is a component for Forms applications.

Hello

Yes what some one said is correct ,there is no Combo box in asp.net , it is

DropDownList in Asp.net the control to be used
