Keep in mind that Items is an array of System.Objects. The control uses the inherited ToString() method to display the objects in Items. I suggest that you store the objects directly, instead. foreach (Vegetables obj in Enum.GetValues(typeof(Vegetables))) { ; this.comboBox1.Items.Add(obj); } You are storing the enums as strings, which is not necessary.

foreach (Vegetables obj in Enum.GetValues(typeof(Vegetables)))
{
;
this.comboBox1.Items.Add(obj);
