Hi & please ghelp. I'm very new to c#.

Chris,

Well, figure out what the current month/year is (using a call to the
static Now property on the DateTime class). Then, I would figure out what
the first of the month is. You can do that by subtracting the number of
days in today's date from that date, and then add one.

From there, you can just subtract one month from the datetime until you
hit April of 2007. Each time you iterate backwards, you would add the item
to your combobox.
