import javax.swing.JOptionPane;[/java]

4. Create a new Method inside your class. In my case, I used “loadUserName” as my method name.

[java]public final void loadUserName(){

}[/java]

5. Insert the following codes below inside your new create method. The codes compose of MySQL statements needed in accessing the MySQL database.

[java]try {
String sql=”SELECT * FROM userinfo”;
pst=conn.prepareStatement(sql);
rs = pst.executeQuery(sql);
while(rs.next()){
String fname = rs.getString(“FirstName”);
String lname = rs.getString(“LastName”);
String name = fname + ” ” + lname;
jComboBox1.addItem(name);
}
}catch(SQLException e) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, e.getMessage());
}[/java]

6. Copy the name of your method and insert it inside your public method together with the “initComponents”. When the program is running, all of the statement inside the public class method will executed.
