There is a user control written in C#.
I googled out with a keyword "MultiColumnComboBox" and found this handy and nice codes. Customize to suit your need.

It's not like the DropDownList in HTML. You have to take control of the drawing of the items yourself. First you need to change the DrawMode property of the ComboBox. Then, you draw your items. Here's a few hits from Google.
