Your problem sounds like the combobox has not been assigned a dataset or table to get the values from.

note this text from the thread above:

Create the DataGridComboBoxColumn and add it to the GridColumnStyles. 
The first argument (Type) is used for the column caption and the mapping. 
(Could be changed after creating). 
The second argument (AccessDataTypes) is the DataTable to use for translation. 
Name and Number are the column names to use from the table and theGrid is the DataGrid where this column will belong to. 
Be sure to provide the NullText ; if you don't it will throw an exception if you try to add a row to the DataGrid.

[COLOR=Green]DataGridComboBoxColumn c1=new DataGridComboBoxColumn("Type", AccessDataTypes, "Name", "Number", theGrid);
c1.NullText="3";
ts.GridColumnStyles.Add(c1);[/COLOR]
