using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Threading.Tasks;

using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication3

{

    public partial class Form3 : Form

    {

        public Form3()

        {

            InitializeComponent();

        }

        private void Form3_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            DomainUpDown dynamicallyadd = new DomainUpDown();

            dynamicallyadd.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(12, 50);

            dynamicallyadd.Name = "domainupdown";

            dynamicallyadd.SelectedItemChanged += new System.EventHandler(Itemchanged);

        }

        private void Itemchanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

           // throw new NotImplementedException();

            DomainUpDown item = sender as DomainUpDown;

            MessageBox.Show(item.Text);

        }

    }

}

        {

            BankingSystemEntities bs = new BankingSystemEntities();

            var item = bs.userAccounts.ToArray();

            foreach (var item1 in item)

            {

                domainUpDown1.Items.Add(item1.Account_No.ToString());

            }
