How to get Combobox.Datasource to a Dictionary?

Takeshi Okada286627-Jan-2014

Following is my code which is binding a List() to a ComboBox control. I tried to add few items to the CombBox control using Insert() method which is not allowed as it has been assigned to a datasource. So, how can I get the datasouce back to a new variable (say, var colours2) from cmbColour.DataSource which is returning an object. Thanx !

var colours= new Dictionary<string, string>                                                                                                

            {

              {"1x","Green"},

              {"2x","Red"},

              {"3y","Blue"},

              {"4y","Black"}

            }.ToList();

cmbColour.ValueMember = "Key";

cmbColour.DisplayMember = "Value";

cmbColour.DataSource = colours;

var colours2 = //how can I get the DataSource back
