dropdown item ID

Hi,

I am using this code to populate data into combobox but i was just
thinking how can i assign an id to each item in the dropdown list like
the primary id for example because i want to save both id and name of
the company..

// fill the insurance company;

VDBAdapter.SelectCommand = new VistaDBCommand("SELECT account_name AS
insurance_account FROM accounts WHERE account_type = 'INSURANCE' ORDER
BY account_name", VDBConnection);

VDBDataset.Tables.Add("insurance_account");

VDBAdapter.Fill(VDBDataset, "insurance_account");
//put the data from the dataset into the combobox

DataTable tblInsuranceCompany = VDBDataset.Tables["insurance_account"];

if (oDataTable == null)

throw new Exception("BoxCustomers table not found in
oCustomersDataSet.");

foreach (DataRow oRow in tblInsuranceCompany.Rows)

{

cboInsurance.Items.Add(oRow["insurance_account"]);

}

Many Thanks,
Jassim Rahma
