ASP.Net questions are better asked on the ASP.Net forum. The VB.Net forum focuses more so on Windows based development.
As for your project, check out the System.IO namespace. Specificly the File and Directory objects. You should be able to get an array of file names from a Directory object and add them to the combo box's item list.

What do you mean by the contents of a folder? The file names?
If that's the case, use the IO namespace
Dim fileName As String
Dim files As String()
Dim dirApp As String = "\\servername\path\"
files = IO.Directory.GetFiles(dirApp, "*.txt")
For Each fileName In files
RunSomeScript(fileName)
Next
If you want to get all files in the directory clear the "*.txt" from the GetFiles Parameters.
