VB.Net version 2003

I'm attempting to manually populate a comboBox (dropDownList) but am unable
using a syntax I used to use in 2002:

dim dr as sqlclient.sqldatareader = cmd.executeReader
while dr.read
ddl.items.add(new listItem(dr("text"), dr("value")))
end while

Is there an additional project reference needed in order to instantiate a
new ListItem object? I cant get it to come up in the class box.

any help is greatly appreciated.

ComboBox1.BeginUpdate()

'put your New Item Code here

ComboBox1.EndUpdate()
