 You'll need to load the data for your ComboBox in your constructor and set a LoadedEvent method for this.  Once the data has loaded, you'll then need to load the data for your DataForm in the LoadedEvent of the ComboBox data.

In your code, if you do something like the following you'll get the control:

ComboBox cb = this.FindName("comboBox");

if (cb != null)
{

    // ... do your stuff here
}
